ABOUT THE GOLDEN ARROW PRAYER
Jesus is God! Alas! they say
On earth the numbers grow,
Who His Divinity blaspheme
To their unfailing woe.
~ Fr. F. W. Faber
In 1843, the “GOLDEN ARROW” PRAYER was dictated by Our Lord Himself to Sister Mary of St. Peter, a Carmelite nun, in Tours, France. Just as sins of blasphemy were like a ‘poisoned arrow’ continually wounding God’s Heart, Our Lord said “This Golden Arrow will wound My Heart delightfully, and heal the wounds inflicted by blasphemy.”
Then, in 1844, Sister Mary of St. Peter was given a vision in which she saw the Sacred Heart of Jesus delightfully wounded by the “Golden Arrow” Prayer, as torrents of graces streamed forth from His Heart for the conversion of sinners. Our Lord revealed to her the inseparable connection between honouring the unutterable name of God through the “Golden Arrow” Prayer and venerating the Holy Face of Jesus.

Say this prayer often, to console Jesus, Our Lord and God. It is the central prayer in the Devotion to The Holy Face.
THE GOLDEN ARROW
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.
Amen.
