Maybe my eyes are merely playing tricks on me, but just the other day I was learning more about the Shroud of Turin. This morning as the sun was rising through my window I happened to look up and see what appeared to be an outline of a face; the branches that created a shadow on my window seemed to form a perfect crown of thorns. I also was struck by how in the image of the shroud His eyes appear to be closed or cast down, which is what it looks like in the window image. It’s moments like these where I believe Our Lord likes to give His little children hints that He is always near…

A MOST blessed feast of Our Mother and Queen’s glorious Immaculate Conception!

Thanks for posting !
I can see the ‘crown of thorns’ too.
Happy Feast Day🤗.
Hi Sally! As usual it’s so great to see your face on here and to hear from you. God bless you 🙂
Beginnings , and joy to you as well. 😄

Yes, happy Immaculate Conception! Ave Maria!
Ave Maria and a MOST blessed feast dear Catholic Knight!
That’s incredible. I watched a great documentary about the Shroud of Turin a few days ago. Amazing.
I would have seen the same thing you did, GLORY!
Love to you,
Michele
Oh good you see it, too?? A family member of mine said I was seeing things- “oh ye of little faith”, right? God bless you, maybe you saw it on Newmax? 🙂
Illumina Domine vultum tuum super nos
Great to hear from you, it’s been a while hasn’t it? Praying for you- yes indeed may He shine His wondrous countenance on us.
Thanks, Jade, praying for you, too, in these strange days! There isn’t a whole lot of guidance from the Church regarding creative writing, so I’m always appreciative when you like my stories, as I subject everything I write and say and do to the Immaculata. Anyway, I definitely can see the visage in these pictures you captured, and it recalls to me the verses of Joseph Mary Plunkett’s “I See His Blood Upon the Rose”:
I see his blood upon the rose
And in the stars the glory of his eyes,
His body gleams amid eternal snows,
His tears fall from the skies.
I see his face in every flower;
The thunder and the singing of the birds
Are but his voice—and carven by his power
Rocks are his written words.
All pathways by his feet are worn,
His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea,
His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn,
His cross is every tree.
This song was actually sung by some of our novices in Carmel! The lyrics were really something. I agree 100% with the Church and creative writing. Let’s stick together and hasten the triumph of the Immaculate Heart
Oh, really? I had no idea it had been set to music, now I wish I could hear it, haha. Amen, all for the greater glory of God and Mary!
Yes! It’s actually a polyphony piece if you can believe it?
This must be it, I’ve never heard this arrangement before: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viBVe9UNBeM&feature=emb_logo.
They sounded MUCH better than us! I always like the voices of men and women together for polyphony. Don’t get me wrong I think we had a nice choir, but women singing “thirds” can be a bit odd sometimes!
GOD bless for all youre sharings just love it smiling with all my face !
Samo! I’m praying for you, I hope you’re doing so well this advent ☺️
