A recent publication by TAN Books which is authored by a Catholic priest (Fr. Lawrence Daniel Carney III), "The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society", argues that the reparation-oriented Holy Face devotion may be used to fight communism. The publication claims that...

"...the Holy Face Chaplet...is a most efficacious tool of spiritual warfare to defeat Communism, [which] includes saying the Glory Be seven times in honor of the Seven Last Words of Christ, as well as the Seven Sorrows of Mary (as well as other prayers)." [Note that the Holy Face Chaplet should be prayed in addition to (NOT instead of) the Holy Rosary.]

Below is the text of Holy Face chaplet, according to the above referenced publication... [Note: emphasis & closing quotes added, correction made to last line]

ON THE CRUCIFIX, make the Sign of the Cross and say: "O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be…"

On the FIRST big bead: "In honor of the sense of touch of Our Lord. My Jesus mercy. Glory be…"

On each of the six small beads: "Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face."

On the SECOND big bead: "In honor of the sense of hearing of Our Lord. My Jesus mercy. Glory be…"

On each of the six small beads: "Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face."

On the THIRD big bead: "In honor of the sense of sight of Our Lord. My Jesus mercy. Glory be…"

On each of the six small beads: "Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face."

On the FOURTH big bead: "In honor of the sense of smell of Our Lord. My Jesus mercy. Glory be…"

On each of the six small beads: "Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face."

On the FIFTH big bead: "In honor of the sense of taste of Our Lord. My Jesus mercy. Glory be…"

On each of the six small beads: "Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face."

On the SIXTH big bead: "In honor of Our Lord's three years of public life. My Jesus mercy. Glory be…"

On each of the final three small beads: "Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let all that hate Thee flee from before Thy Face."

On the Holy Face medal: "God, our protector, look upon us, and cast Thine eyes upon the Face of Thy Christ."

* "May the thrice Holy Name of God overthrow all their plans!"

* "May the Holy Name of the living God split them up by disagreements!"

* "May the terrible Name of God of eternity stamp out all their godlessness!"

* According to the above referenced publication, "These last three lines were (from an alleged private) revelation dated April 6, 1847 to Sister Mary of St. Peter. They may be added as an option to the Holy Face Chaplet."
