Things I Learned While Contemplating The Holy Face Of Jesus

Avery Collins posts on CatholicLink a reflection following the release of a new documentary

"The Church has been blessed with different images of the Holy Face of Jesus from His time here on earth. After watching the new documentary film, The Face of Jesus (see the film in theaters on June 3rd only), I learned that we have three different images of Jesus’ face from each day of the Triduum. We have the veil of Veronica which shows his face on his way to the Cross on Good Friday, the Shroud of Turin, which shows us His face in death and in the tomb on Holy Saturday, and the Holy Veil of Manoppello, which shows His face on Easter, the day of his Resurrection. Each of these images can draw us deeper into contemplation of His holy face."
