A CHAPLET OF THE HOLY FACE

This chaplet is one I composed for my own personal use. It is based on the official chaplet, but has a few minor alterations, which I found myself adding instinctively.
Although it obviously doesn't have 'ecclesiastical approval', I'm sure that anyone using it would share in the blessings promised by Our Lord to all who practise devotion to his Holy Face: see 'Promises' for details.
I have found it to be especially powerful as a prayer against Evil.

I use a special set of beads (see below) which you can obtain from the makers of the medal. You could also use an ordinary Rosary, and say five sets of 10 small beads instead of five sets of six.
