In seeking God, we quickly realize that no one is self-sufficient. Rather, we are called, in the light of faith, to move beyond self-centeredness, drawn by God's Holy Face and by the "sacred ground of the other" [Evangelli Gaudium, §169], to an ever more profound experience of communion.

- Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §1)

Researchers after many years of studying the Shroud of Turin (13th-14th century AD), a realistic representation of what Jesus Christ actually looked like, has been presented.

The Shroud of Turin, also known as the Holy Shroud, is a length of linen cloth that bears a faint image of the front and back of a man.

It has been venerated for centuries, especially by members of the Catholic Church, as the actual burial shroud used to wrap the body of Jesus of Nazareth after his crucifixion and upon which his bodily image is miraculously imprinted.

The human image on the shroud can be discerned more clearly in a black and white photographic negative than in its natural sepia color, an effect discovered in 1898 by Secondo Pia, who produced the first photographs of the shroud.

This negative image is associated with a popular Catholic devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.

The shroud's authenticity as a holy relic has been disputed even within the Catholic Church and radiocarbon dating has shown it to be a medieval artifact.

Though accepted as valid by experts, the carbon-dating of the shroud continues to generate significant public debate.

The nature and history of the shroud have been the subjects of extensive and long-lasting controversies in both the scholarly literature and the popular press.

Currently, the Catholic Church neither endorses nor rejects the authenticity of the shroud as a relic of Jesus.

Invoking the Holy Face of Jesus

Author: Archbishop of Chieti - Vasto (Italy) - Bruno Forte

LORD JESUS, Savior of the World, hope that will never disappoint us, have mercy on us and deliver us from all evil.

Please overcome the scourge of this virus which is spreading, heal the sick, preserve the healthy, support those who work for the health of all.

Show us your face of mercy and save us in your great love.

We ask you through the intercession of Mary, Your Mother and ours, who faithfully accompanies us.

You who live and reign forever and ever.

Amen.

Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus - Devotion of the Millennium (2000 - 3000) - With Words From St. Padre Pio - God Wants To Be Loved

#holy face of Jesus

[emvidal]

The prayer of reparation is most at home in the presence of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The light that shines from the Eucharistic Face of Christ heals us sinners, and heals those against whom we have sinned. The love we bring to the Eucharistic Face of Christ reaches every human face. The prayer of reparation is the veil of Veronica lifted to the face of Christ in His Passion; it is the hand that seeks to wipe away every disfiguring stain of filth, of blood, and of tears.

REPARATION TO THE HOLY FACE OF JESUS

Demons revealed to St Athanasius the Great that the prayer they feared the most which sent them fleeing in terror is:  “Arise O Lord. Let Thy enemies be scattered. Let them that hate Thee flee before Thy Holy Face.” (Psalm 67:1). Let us offer this prayer frequently in reparation for the grievous blasphemies against Jesus.

Happy (almost) feast day of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the most remarkably unremarkable saint!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: Also known as St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, she's another young female saint, but unlike some of the others I've done cartoons about, she didn't torture herself, fast herself to death, or get murdered for her beliefs.  Apparently, Thérèse led a very normal life, though she died young of tuberculosis.  She was an emotional little girl who was eventually inspired to join a convent, and while she was much younger than was normally allowed, her persistence got her accepted.  Her dedication to showing love in the smallest details of everyday life has led some to say that she, more than many lofty theologians, rediscovered the Gospel, and in the simplest way.

The Madonna of Mercy Sheltering a Group of Nuns, by Sano di Pietro, 1440s.

Over the centuries, the Church has always looked to Mary as the summa contemplatrix. From the Annunciation to the Resurrection, through the pilgrimage of faith that reached its climax at the foot of the Cross, Mary persevered in contemplation of the mystery dwelling within her. In Mary, we glimpse the mystical journey of the consecrated person, grounded in a humble wisdom that savours the mystery of the ultimate fulfillment. Following Mary's example, the contemplative is a person centred in God and for whom God is the unum necessarium (cf. Lk 10:42), in comparison with which all else is seen from a different perspective, because seen through new eyes. [...] Persevere, then, in profound communion with the Church so that in Her midst you may become a living continuation of the mystery of Mary, Virgin, Bride, and Mother, who welcomes and treasures the Word in order to give it back to the world. Thus you will help to bring Christ to birth and increase in the hearts of men and women who, often unconsciously, are thirsting for the One who is the "Way, the Truth, and the Life" (Jn 14:6). Like Mary, you too strive to be a "stairway" by which God descends to encounter humanity, and humanity ascends to encounter God and contemplate His Face in the Face of Christ.

Pope Francis (Vultum Dei quaerere, §10, 37)

So like??? I don't know if I understood this correctly, but the music wwx plays to settle Wen Ning's aggression at the beginning of the first volume is the wangxian song lwj composed and sang/played for him when they were in the cave as kids???

Like. You're telling me that wwx's instinctive focal point of comfort is lwj and lwj was just expected to be normal about all of this.

I'm. rotating this in my head as we speak wwx you're so aksjldfgdhjskjghkfjdh

#mdzs #wangxian #i don't say this with the implication that my memory is any better bc it famously absolutely isnt but uh #holy actual shit #the layers in that scene are absolutely insane #literally pls give wangji an f in the chat that had to be both fantastic and brutal for him all at once #also love his immediate 'he's coming to gusu with me' excellent maneuver hanguangjun ty for your service #character growth: not taking wwx's refusal for an answer. you will be taken care of. this is a threat #i love it here #i love how literally not a single mxtx narrator can be trusted this shit is uproarious #wwx: i mean yeah we knew each other but its not like we had any real significance to each other #also wwx's narration: he's the most beautiful man in the world. ethereal. carved from ice and otherworldly in his perfection. #wwx narration: he did look for all the world like a particularly aggrieved widow tho kind of odd (YOU'RE THE FUCKING DEAD PARTNER WWX) #wwx narration: ?????? wdym he's happy zewu-jun? look at his damn face smfh lemme out #i think what i love in particular about wwx is the complex interplay of his heightened awareness and acclimation to being reviled #and despite his logical capacity to understand the levels of exaggeration and the general unfairness of their levied judgment #i find it absolutely gutting that it simultaneously results in an inability for him to see or understand when people care for him #like idk man mxtx is masterful when it comes to the complexities of the human psyche in some ways like jesus #also explains the motif i often see where he like has a preoccupation with 'staining' lwj #i think what guts me esp abt wwx is the earnestness with which he truly doesn't understand how he positively impacts other ppl #like he just assumes ppl meet him and find him either annoying or forgettable and just moves on with his life #it just feels so quintessentially nd #meanwhile he literally revolutionizes the cultivation world in the few decades he was alive #i also feel like demonic cultivation is def a metaphor for overworking + the diseases can result from it
