Tuesday Visits to the Blessed Sacrament In Reparation for the Outrages that the Holy Face of Jesus Received during His Passion. . The Lord also requested that His Holy Face be honoured each Tuesday and especially on Shrove Tuesday, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which marks the start of Lent. Requesting this Devotion, Jesus appeared covered with blood and very sadly said to Blessed Pierina: . “Do you see how I suffer? Yet, very few understand Me. Those who say they love Me are very ungrateful! I have given My Heart as the sensible object of My great love to men and I give My Face as the sensible object of My sorrow for all the sins of men. I wish that it be venerated by a special Feast on Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. I wish that the Feast be preceded by a Novena in which the faithful make reparation with Me, joining together and sharing in My sorrow.” . In 1939 Jesus said: . "I wish that My Holy Face be honored in a particular manner on Tuesdays". . Our Lady said to Blessed Maria Pierina de Micheli: . "A visit to the Blessed Sacrament every Tuesday in reparation for the outrages that the Holy Face of my Son Jesus received during His Passion and is still receiving in the Holy Eucharist every day, - will be strengthened in the Faith, and will be made ready to defend it, - will overcome all difficulties, internal and external - and they will have a peaceful death under the loving gaze of my Divine Son".
