Last weekend, I thought I was going to see Father Michael E. Gaitley, MIC speak about
Divine Mercy and after just completing his book, 33 Days to Morning Glory,
(which I highly recommend)
I was very excited to see him!
He was unable to be here though, so they
sent another man, transitional Deacon Chris,
from the Marion Fathers of the Immaculate Conception,
in Stockbridge, MA
(to be ordained a priest in May 2014)
He was a dynamic speaker and talked about the Shroud of Turin,
you know this picture I have pictured on my blog:
The shroud of Turin, believed to be the cloth that Jesus Christ was wrapped in.
He spoke all about the Shroud, and all the amazing findings
and then, he talked about Divine Mercy, St Faustina
and the image
she had painted of our Lord.
And then, at the end of his first talk,
he ended it with this image of the two combined,
The Shroud and the Divine Mercy Image.
It was found by accident when somewhere they were able to hang an image of
the Shroud and an image of Divine Mercy was already up,
with the light shining through both,
this was seen:
It brought tears to my eyes, just seeing it,
as the Shroud has always been a favorite of mine,
so much so, that I have His face
(an actual picture of our Lord!)
hanging all over my house!
And
in our living room, I have the two right next to each other.
When they compared the two originals, they matched with a
99.5% accuracy.
Amazing!

Amazing!
I took away so much from this speaker.
I get very excited, I can hardly contain myself.
I'm reminded of my vocation of motherhood
and although, my heart wants to be in prayer,
at Mass, at the Adoration Chapel, I know
and am thankful for what I am called to do at this time.
I am reading another of Father Michael E. Gaitley's books,
A book, I've had a hard time putting down
to do those vocation of motherhood things!
I have to say it has been life changing,
or even better, soul changing.
I hope to write about it this week.
