Born in 1816 in Brittany, France, Sister Mary of Saint Peter lost her mother at age 12. Soon after entering the Carmelite convent at Tours in 1839 at age 23, she began to receive remarkable and intimate communications from Our Lord, Who told her of His great distressed over the evil actions and blasphemous declarations of the Marxist revolutionaries of the time. He also bemoaned the indifference to and profanation of Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation of even Christians. These errors, begun in Sister Mary's time, have grown monstrously ingrained in our present fearful age.
But the Lord provided Sister Mary over a century and a half ago with the means of fighting these catastrophes and making solemn reparation: devotion to His Holy Face. In addition, He gave her a prayer, a "Golden Arrow" fit to pierce His Heart delightfully, in reparation for the painful "poison arrows" of blasphemy launched by so many poor sinners, even children.
The Golden Arrow tells of both the life of Sister Mary of Saint Peter and her life's work: the devotion, granted to her by Jesus Himself, to His Holy Face. Approved by Pope Leo XIII and promoted by St. Therese of Lisieux half a century later, the devotion to the Holy Face may be the single most important devotion of our time that still remains relatively unknown.
In our age so sorely afflicted by the same grievous errors as Sister Mary of Saint Peter's, learn to adore Our Blessed Savior's wounded Face, so as to make reparation for the sacrileges and blasphemies of our decadent age.
May the most Holy, most Sacred, most Adorable,
Most Incomprehensible and Ineffable Name of God
Be always Praised, Blessed, Loved, Adored and Glorified,
In Heaven, on Earth and in Hell,
By all the Creatures of God,
And by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ,
In the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Amen.

Don't pass on this book!
A most holy devotion originating from Our Lord Himself that is especially needed at this time! Every Catholic should see what treasures abound in this devotion to Christ's Holy Face, especially as it is willed by our Eternal Father & approved by Pope Leo XIII. This gives some of the history. The Holy Face prayers at the end are especially beautiful & powerful. I recommend this to anyone wishing to make reparation to our much offended Eternal Father through the most pleasing Face of Jesus in His most sorrowful Passion. This is a real treasure!

Must read and a must devotion to bring back for our times!!
St Teresa of Avila has been nipping at my heels for decades. Certain Saints I’ve been reading about lately, had a devotion to her. Sr. Mary of Saint Peter had a devotion to her and by her answering the call to be a Carmelite had paid off. This Sister had these visions and messages from Christ back in 1850 and I could not put the book down! Saying the chaplet to the Most Holy Face of Christ needs to come back ASAP!! We need to be firmly grounded church militants and just as many Saint Veronica’s!! There is another book I started reading the day after reading this and it’s called “The Anti-Mary exposed!’ Let’s me just say this, you’ll see why this devotion needs to come back IMMEDIATELY!! This devotion is and reading the Anti Mary will be obvious that communism is about to go full swing if we don’t completely surrender to God and share this Most Holy Face of Jesus to fight the worlds worst enemy since the dawn of time!! Communism!! PRAY THE CHAPLET AND JOIN THE ACHRONFRATERNITY NOW!!! The devil has been unleashed and we must face this evil head on with the image of the Holy Face of Jesus!! Arise O Lord and let Thy enemies be scattered and let them that hate Thee, flee before Thy Face!!

The Golden Arrow
I'm about half way through and it reminds me of reading books like The Little Prince, The Velveteen Rabbit or Winnie The Pooh. I find it has a forthright innocence to it that pierces my heart, an adventure of depth, not breadth.

The Golden Arrow
The wonderful devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus is devotion for our times. As per the revelations given by our Lord to Sister Mary of Saint Peter, Revolutionary Men will not have their way. Viva Cristo Rey!
