Thérèse de l'Enfant Jésus et de la Sainte Face - Peinture de Dino Carbetta
Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face – Painting by Dino Carbetta
The devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, championed by Carmelite nun Sister Marie of St. Peter in Tours, France, found a fervent follower in Saint Therese. Joining the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face in 1885, Therese's parents, Louis and Zélie Martin, had also prayed at the Oratory of the Holy Face, originally established by Leo Dupont, the Apostle of the Holy Face. This devotion, rooted in images of the Veil of Veronica, deeply influenced Therese's spiritual journey. Taking her vows in 1890, Therese embraced the Holy Face as an integral part of her religious identity, signifying a profound union with Christ. Bishop Guy Gaucher highlights Therese's deep connection between the devotions to the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, reflected in her name "Thérèse de l'Enfant Jesus de la Sainte Face". In her poem "My Heaven Down Here", Therese expressed her aspiration to resemble Jesus through divine love, finding solace and inspiration in contemplating the sufferings associated with the Holy Face. Her prayer, "Make me resemble you, Jesus!", encapsulates this profound yearning for spiritual likeness. In "Canticle to the Holy Face", she eloquently portrays her love and reverence: "Jesus, Your ineffable image is the star which guides my steps...Your sweet Face is for me Heaven on earth." Her emphasis on God's mercy, evident in both birth and passion narratives, underscores her belief in the transformative power of divine love. The Holy Face Prayer for Sinners, offers the Divine Son's Face to the Eternal Father as an act of redemption for all sinners, pleading for mercy and forgiveness. Therese's profound reflections, captured in her poems and prayers, continue to inspire devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, serving as a beacon of spiritual enlightenment for generations. The painting showcases Therese's unwavering faith and message of compassion through intricate brushwork and poignant symbolism.
