Veronica Holding Her Veil

Hans Memling 

c. 1470

 

From Patricia’s beautiful site, The Holy Face of Jesus :

Tuesday is the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus. It always falls on Shrove Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. (Appropriate, considering the grevious sins committed during Mardi Gras.)

 

Jesus appeared to a Carmelite nun, Sister Mary of St. Peter, in Tours, France during the 1840′s, and requested devotion to His Holy Face in order to make reparation for the blasphemies and outrages committed by unbelievers, and for the profanation of Sundays by Christians.

The Golden Arrow Prayer 

 

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable,

most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God

be forever praised, blessed, loved, adored

and glorified in Heaven, on earth,

and under the earth,

by all the creatures of God,

and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.

 

Amen.

   Caroline, thank you! Isn’t that a beautiful prayer in praise of God’s Holy Name? How kind of you to link to it. Here I am sneaking in computer time on vacation But good thing I did so I could thank you..and also so I could learn, via Nancy, that my comments have been disabled for days. Thanks to her, they are now back on! I miss all of you, especially during this painful time of “losing” our dear Papa Benedict. I won’t sneak online tomorrow because it’s Ash Wednesday, but know you will be in my prayers…may we all have a holy and deeply prayerful Lent. Love and prayers… xoxo

   Patricia, I hope you have a great vacation with time to rest and heal.

   I saw that your comments had been disabled, but thought you were just taking a break for a while. Good for Nancy…for not assuming ; )

   The news of Our Holy Father has been very sobering for me.. So much to pray about in the coming days.

   Love and blessings +
