After great difficulties, Sister Pierina obtained permission to have the medal cast. The Evil Spirit showed his chagrin and rage at the medals by flinging them down and burning the pictures of the Sacred Face, and beating Sister Pierina savagely. In 1940, when the Second World War had the world in a turmoil, Italy saw a wide distribution of this medal. Relatives and friends saw that their soldiers, sailors, and aviators were provided with the replica of the Holy Face since the medal was already famous for its miracles and countless spiritual and temporal favors. Devilish snares have been set to rob the hearts of men of their faith while evil spreads the world over.
Genuine apostles are few.
A divine remedy to alt these evils will be the adorable Face of her Son, Jesus. Whoever wears this medal and, if possible, pays a weekly visit to the Blessed Sacrament on Tuesday in a spirit of reparation for the outrages received by the Holy Face of Our Blessed Savior during His Passion and those bestowed on Him every day in the Sacrament of His divine love, will be granted the gift of a strong Faith and the grace to fly to its defense conquering if need be all interior and exterior difficulties. Moreover, they are promised a happy death with special assistance of Christ Himself. It is to be found on land and sea. Never has it been heard that a prisoner of war wearing this badge of salvation has been executed.
