On Wednesday, March 1st, Lent will begin. The feast of the Holy Face of Jesus, falls on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. It is appropriate that this feast is right before the season of Lent. The forty days of this liturgical season are a time of taking account of our lives and our relationship with God. Furthermore, we are to reflect on the sufferings and ultimate sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. When we look at the image of the Shroud of Turin and in particular at the face of Christ, one can see so clearly the pain and sufferings that Jesus endured for love of us. During this feast and Lenten season, let us make some acts of love and reparation to our Lord for all that He suffered for us.
St. Therese of the Child Jesus and Holy Face had a great love of this devotion. For further information, please see the following website:
