O Most Holy and Blessed Trinity, through the intercession of Holy Mary, whose soul was pierced through by a sword of sorrow at the sight of the Passion of her Divine Son, we ask Thy help in making a perfect novena of reparation with Jesus, united with all His sorrows, love, and total abandonment.
We now implore all the angels and saints to intercede for us as we pray this holy novena to the Most Holy Face of Jesus and for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
Amen.
