This isn't the type of story you usually see here. I strayed off course today after a pilgrim
visit to see a replica of the Shroud of Turin. What Our Lord suffered on Good Friday over
2000 years ago was because of the indifference we see in nations all around the
world; terrible sins that have become rampant in our world.
We are all so
caught up in our daily struggles and sometimes they seem to consume us. But
once in a while, you get to step back and put them in perspective, and today
was one of those days for me. I hope
everyone takes the time to view these photos and meditate on just how cruelly
Our Lord was treated and ask for His Divine Mercy on all of us and on our whole
world.
This morning my Mom, my sister, Kathy, and I had the privilege to visit St. Mary's Church Ukrainian Church in Bristol, PA to view the replica of the Shroud of Turin.
When you actually see the face of Jesus on the cloth, and see the marks from blood stains from the piercing of the sword, you forget all your problems. They seem so small in comparison to what Our Lord suffered on our account. Below are pictures I took today while there.
