WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS

THE HOLY FACE OF MANOPPELLO

What wondrous love is this
O my soul, O my soul?
What wondrous love is this,
O my soul?
What wondrous love is this
That cause the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul, For my soul?
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul?
To God and to the Lamb
I will sing, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb,
I will sing
To God and to the Lamb
Who is the great I AM
While millions join the theme
I will sing, I will sing
While millions join the theme
I will sing
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing on, I'll sing on
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing on
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing and joyful be
And through eternity
I'll sing on, I'll sing on
And through eternity,
I'll sing on

AN ENCOUNTER WITH THE MANOPPELLO IMAGE OF THE FACE OF CHRIST

THE MYSTERIOUS HOLY VEIL OF MANOPPELLO

"Your Face O Lord I seek."

(Prayer of Pope Benedict XVI before the face of Manoppello)

"Seeking the Face of Jesus
indeed, we are ‘the generation’
which seeks His Face in our day,
the Face of the ‘God of Jacob.’
If we persevere in our quest for the
Face of the Lord,
at the end of our earthly pilgrimage,
He, Jesus, will be our eternal joy,
our reward and glory forever.”

[Pope Benedict XVI, September 1, 2006]

Love, Jeanne

.... Lucia's Lament

In 1961 Sister Lucia of Fatima grieved to Father Augustin Fuentes who was visiting her, "Father, our Lady is very unhappy because they have not taken Her message of 1917 seriously. NEITHER THE GOOD NOR THE BAD HAVE PAID ANY ATTENTION TO IT. The good continue their way without preoccupying themselves with it, they do not heed her celestial requests. The bad walk through life swollen with perdition, not taking into account the punishment that threatens them. Believe me, Father, God will chastise the world very soon. THINK, FATHER, ABOUT ALL THE SOULS WHO WILL FALL INTO HELL. This will happen because no one prays, because they do not do penance."

[Sister Lucia of Fatima to Father Augustin Fuentes in 1961.]

"What is the purpose of all this talk of Hell in Lucia's message, to frighten us? No! It is assumed that a majority of this book's [and this blog's cj] readers are adult Christians of sound faith who are in the state of grace. THE PURPOSE IS TO EMPHASIZE MARY'S CALL FOR PRAYER, SACRIFICE, & PENANCE IN ORDER TO SAVE THE SOULS OF OTHERS.

"But there is a downside to personal refusal of this 'call.' IN OUR CHARITY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THIS CALL FOR PRAYER, SACRIFICE, & PENANCE FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS.

"If we do not, is there a possibility that sometime in the future we might need such spiritual assistance from others - perhaps to withstand some great temptation of our own, (despair, pride, loss of faith, etc.) and that when we need help we shall receive as we gave? 'Let him who stands, beware lest he fall.' Let us charitably respond to Mary's call." [Desmond A. Birch ........... in his book, "Trial, Tribulation & Triumph"]
