"Come" says my heart, "seek his face":
your face, O LORD, do I seek!
Do not hide your face from me.
​
(Psalm 27:8-9)

O Adorable face of Jesus!  Since you have deigned to choose our souls to be intimately yours in order to give yourself to them, we come to consecrate them to you.  Our souls understand your language of love; we want to dry your gentle face and console you for the forgetfulness of the wicked.  O beloved face of Jesus!  As we await the everlasting day when we will contemplate your infinite glory, your veiled gaze is our heaven!

   -- Saint Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face
