The Holy Veil of Manoppello: The Human Face of God

The horrific 1915 earthquake that levelled tiny Manoppello, Italy, brought forth from the local church's rubble one of Christendom's long-lost, but most precious relics: the small cloth that lay on Jesus's face in the tomb.

Saint John speaks of it in his Gospel: When Peter went into the tomb, he saw linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on Jesus head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. Tradition says that Our Lady herself laid this cloth on His face before He was wrapped in His shroud for burial.

This small veil now known as the Holy Face of Manoppello absorbed the very first new breath of the Risen Christ . . . and at that same instant had imprinted on itself, miraculously, a vivid image of the now-resurrected Jesus.

Modern scholars have confirmed that this image corresponds perfectly in all its measurements to the face of the dead Christ on the more famous Shroud of Turin.

Unlike the Shroud, however, the Holy Face of Manoppello shows not the grim visage of a dead man with eyes closed, but the lively face of the living Christ, His eyes wide open, piercing us with their gaze.

In 2006, Pope Benedict made a pilgrimage to Manoppello to pray before this image. In the decade since then, tens of thousands of other pilgrims have followed in the Pope's footsteps, making the trek to central Italy to meet Jesus face-to-face.

Now, thanks to author Paul Badde you can learn of the loss and recovery of this precious relic. Better yet, by means of the dozens of color pictures in this book, you, too, can encounter this miraculous cloth, and finally gaze reverently on the face of the living Christ Himself!

 

Ecce Homo Sacrifice Tenner Rosary

As a child, St. Therese of Lisieux carried a string of beads with her, to count the little gifts of sacrifice and virtue she offered to God every day. Follow the Little Flower’s example by using this sacrifice tenner, designed so that you can pull the beads one by one towards the cross as you perform small acts of service and sacrifice. Perfect to use especially during Lent, the earthy, jasper beads remind us of Christ’s hidden time of prayer and fasting in the desert. The demure, matte colors remind us to perform these small acts quietly, purely for love of God, and the moving Ecce Homo medal gives us motivation. A practical gift of devotion for children and adults alike that also doubles as a decade rosary.
