PRAYER OF THE SHROUD
O Lord Jesus, who by a singular prodigy did
leave for us upon Your Holy Shroud the imprint of
Your most Holy Body, so cruelly tortured and put to death for our salvation,
together with the image of Your most Holy Face,
which wicked men by wounds and blows disfigured,
grant us, through the merits of Your many sufferings,
that by venerating on earth the image of Your Holy Face,
upon which the very angels long to gaze,
we may be made worthy to contemplate it forever in Heaven...Amen.
