The following Golden Arrow Prayer was given by Our Lord to Sister Mary Saint Peter in Tours, France. It is a short but powerful prayer by which a person can "shoot directly into the Heart of God" to heal the wounds inflicted on it by the malice of sinners. Of the 9 promises connected with this devotion, the first three are 1) "By My Holy Face you will work miracles;" 2) "By My Face you will obtain the conversion of many sinners;" and 3) "Nothing you ask in making this offering will be refused to you." This prayer was dictated by our Lord Himself to Sister Mary of St. Peter. Opening His Heart to her, our Savior complained of blasphemy, saying that this frightful sin wounds His Divine Heart more grievously than all other sins, for it was like "a poisoned arrow." Our Lord said those who recite this prayer would pierce Him delightfully, and also heal those other wounds inflicted on Him by the malice of sinners. This prayer is regarded as the very basis of the Work of Reparation. It is recommended for recitation on each of the thirty-three beads of the Holy Face Chaplet. This chaplet is composed of 33 small beads, and 6 larger beads.
May the most holy,
most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unutterable
Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified,
in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth, by all the creatures of
God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most
Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
