The Forgotten Prayer Leo Dupont Wrote… That Changed Thousands | Holy Face S3E7
Hidden within the archives of the Holy Face devotion is a remarkable prayer that very few Catholics have ever heard of—the Little Office of the Most Holy Name of God, composed largely by Venerable Leo Dupont and preserved in the official Manual of the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face.
In this episode of The Holy Face Series, we uncover the forgotten prayer that helped shape one of the greatest Catholic movements of the nineteenth century. More than a devotional exercise, this Little Office was Leo Dupont's response to the rising tide of blasphemy, indifference, and the profanation of Sunday. Inspired by the revelations received by Sister Marie of St. Peter, it invited ordinary Catholics to transform every hour of the day into an act of praise, reparation, and love.
You'll discover how this prayer became part of the growing Holy Face movement, why it was included in the Manual of the Archconfraternity, and how it united Scripture, the Psalms, and the ancient rhythm of the Divine Office into a practical spiritual rule for laypeople. We'll also explore the deep connection between the Holy Name and the Holy Face of Jesus, showing how both reveal the majesty, mercy, and love of Christ.
Drawing from original nineteenth-century manuals, letters, and Church documents, this episode brings to light one of the most overlooked treasures of Catholic spirituality.
If you've never heard of the Little Office of the Holy Name of God, you're about to discover one of the hidden foundations of the Holy Face devotion.
