Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer | The Bonny Prince and the Holy Face

About this sermon

The Infant Jesus welcomes wounded hearts, while devotion to Christ’s Holy Face calls us to reparation and prayer for the conversion of sinners. This Catholic sermon for the congregation’s Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer explores these two devotions as invitations to encounter Christ’s redeeming love. Father reflects on the “Bonny Prince” image of the Child Jesus, depicted with His Sacred Heart, wounds, and cross. The sermon considers how this image can encourage those struggling with wounded trust to approach Christ and grow in sincere, fraternal charity. The reflection then turns to devotion to the Holy Face, the revelations attributed to Sister Mary of St. Peter, and the Golden Arrow prayer of reparation. It also discusses St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, prayer for souls, and the blessing of tartan associated with the Bonny Prince devotion. Throughout, the message is to seek healing in Christ, carry others in prayer, and respond to unbelief and hostility through charity, conversion, and spiritual perseverance. The sermon discusses private revelations and devotional promises, which are distinct from the Church’s public revelation and should be understood within Catholic teaching. 00:00 Be strengthened in the Lord 00:26 Greeting and the Feast of the Most Holy Redeemer 00:40 St. Alphonsus: what would become of us without Christ? 01:03 The mysteries of our salvation 01:45 Two devotions: the Infant Jesus and the Holy Face 02:01 The Bonny Prince image and Christ’s wounds 02:32 The Child Jesus and wounded hearts 03:29 Renewing devotion to the Sacred Heart 04:15 Opening our hearts to Christ’s love 05:19 Becoming childlike in sincerity and charity 05:46 Friendship with sinners and the call to conversion 06:27 Winning souls through fraternal charity 07:11 Carrying others in the Rosary and at Holy Mass 07:45 St. Charles de Foucauld and friendship with all 08:31 Listening with the charity of Christ 08:57 Introduction to devotion to the Holy Face 09:21 Sister Mary of St. Peter and prayers of reparation 10:19 The Golden Arrow prayer 10:43 Devotional promises discussed in the sermon 11:10 St. Thérèse and prayer amid unbelief 11:44 The Holy Face as the “coin” of Christ’s humanity 12:13 What can we become with Jesus Christ? 13:06 Prayer blankets and the request for a tartan blessing 13:55 The blessing associated with the Bonny Prince devotion 14:23 Prayer for families and the conversion of souls 14:33 Marian references and spiritual warfare through prayer 15:23 Closing exhortation: strength in the Redeemer 15:50 Amen Most Holy Redeemer, have mercy on us.
