Re: Shourd of Turin Rachael Tuesday, April 2, 2013

Question:

Hi Brother Ignatius,

I saw the post about the Shroud of Turin and thought my may like to read the following story.

Back a couple of years ago I was unfortuantely being sucked into the New Age. I was at home and I was reading a new age book ... Anyway don't worry I am out of al that now. When I was going to bed that night when turning off the light in the sitting room the FACE of JESUS appeared in the window identical to the face of JESUS in the Shroud of Turin except when HE appeared on the window, instead of the crown of Thorns there was a Crown like you would see on a KING!!

The image was in Black and White the exact image of the Shroud of Turin..........I feel JESUS came to warn me aginst the NEW AGE and came to let me know HE is the KING of KINGS!!

Foolishly I continued into the NEW AGE and did not understand the warning at the time, and suffered the consequences!! BUT THANK GOD I'M OUT NOW.............As a consequence of this I am a total Believer in The Shroud of Turin.

God Bless you Brother Ignatious Rachael

Dear Rachael:

I praise God that you have left the New Age and returned to the Faith. If this vision facilitated your decision, then praise God. 

The image on the Shroud, however, is quite distorted and does not represent anything like what the man in the Shroud actually looked like.

A couple of years ago a group of scientists tried to extrapolate the face seen in the Shroud in an approximation of what the face truly looks like. 

Below is a 1 minute video showing the results. Whether or not this is really Jesus we will never know in this life.

That does not diminish your experience, however, if the face you saw is different than that shown in the video below. Jesus may appear to you in any way that suits your personality and expectations; whatever will get your attention. This is why angels appear with wings, even though they have no wings, or why our Blessed Mother may appear as a Mexican, an African, a Russian, a Semite, or an European. Each culture sees the Blessed Mother, or our Lord, as the case may be, according to their own traditions and expectations.

 

God works in many ways. For you, he saved you from the New Age in however He appeared. Praise God.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
