I wonder what Catholic theology says about the French kings' gift of healing people?
Related, I hope!
The gift of healing from kings began in the year 1000 AD. The consecration of the king made mention of this, I think...
Thank you for pointing this out. More research required, sorry.
______
Number 'six' mentions the effigy of the KING on a coin...Our Lord approves of a monarchy>kings, of course.
Second topic, very brief intro of Mr. Leo Dupont, who was declared one of the greatest MIRACLE WORKERS in Church History!! Think about that.
I think Ste Thérèse signed up for the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face, when she was about 10 years old. That leads her including "
Ste Thérèse de l'Enfant Jésus et de la Sainte Face"
- and of the Holy Face" in her religious name...

Revelations to Sr. Mary of St. Peter,
Discalced Carmelite Nun of Tours, France, in favor of those who honor His Holy Face. Details of these revelations are found in the book named The Golden Arrow the autobiography of Sister Mary of St. Peter)- By offering My Face to My Eternal Father, nothing will be refused, and the conversion of many sinners will be obtained.
- By My Holy Face, they will work wonders, appease the anger of God and draw down mercy on sinners.
- All those who honor My Face in a spirit of reparation will by so doing perform the office of the pious Veronica.
- According to the care they take in making reparation to My Face disfigured by blasphemers, so will I take care of their souls which have been disfigured by sin. My Face is the Seal of the Divinity, which has the virtue of reproducing in souls the image of God.
- Those who by words, prayers or writings defend My cause in the Work of Reparation, especially My priests, I will defend before My Father, and will give them My Kingdom.
- As in a kingdom they can procure all that is desired with a coin stamped with the King’s effigy, so in the Kingdom of Heaven they will obtain all they desire with the precious coin of My Holy Face.
- Those who on earth contemplate the wounds of My Face shall in Heaven behold it radiant with glory.
- They will receive in their souls a bright and constant irradiation of My Divinity, that by their likeness to My Face they shall shine with particular splendor in Heaven.
- 1 will defend them, I will preserve them and I assure them of Final Perseverance.
Further revelations from our divine lord concerning reparation to his Holy Face, as told to Sister Mary of St. Peter
…It is the express will of God that this devotion be established in every diocese; that it be most zealously propagated; and granted a papal brief so that it will never perish.

https://holyfacemiracle.com/between-1851-1877/ Leo Dupont (friend of Sister Mary of St. Peter) obtained one of the Holy Face relics created in the Vatican, and placed it on the mantle in his parlor, keeping a crystal oil lamp burning continuously in front of it as a sign of veneration. He began privately praying the Holy Face prayers (obtained from Sister Mary of St. Peter) with friends and acquaintances in front of the image. Soon afterward, miraculous healings began to occur with the friends and acquaintances who said the devotional prayers (the “Golden Arrow Prayer” and “Litany of the Holy Face”), and who anointed themselves with the oil from the lamp in front of the image. Due to the repeated miracles that happened from that point forward, Leo DuPont’s parlor soon became a place of pilgrimage, and word quickly passed throughout France.
These miracles continued for 30 years, even past the death of Leo Dupont, and were so numerous that Pope Pius IX declared Leo Dupont to be perhaps one of the greatest miracle workers in Church history!
The fact that so many first class miracles occurred through this devotion attests to the authenticity of the revelations from Our Lord to Sister Mary of St. Peter.
After the death of Leo Dupont in 1877, his home became the Oratory of the Holy Face.
