The Face of Jesus Is a Mystery

The face of Jesus is well known to all Christians. It is painted on fresco wall, cathedral ceilings, and hung on museum galleries. The face of Jesus is sculpted and formed into beautiful jewelry but no one really knows what the image of Jesus' face really looked like.
All the faces of Jesus signify His loving mercy for all Christians and the pain He suffered for His faithful followers. It is a face of beauty, compassion, suffering, and glory. The face of Jesus is a central theme of Christianity. Belief in the life, death and Resurrection of Jesus is the basis of the Christian faith and Jesus' face is an embodiment or His love for Christians and His command that Christians love all people in the same way they love themselves.

The Face of Jesus Christ Medal

All Christians want to spread the word of Jesus to everyone they meet. They live the way of Jesus at work, in the home, and during their leisure time, showing all people by their example the love and mercy of Jesus. One ideal way to express faith in Jesus Christ is wearing the Face of Jesus Medal. The medal depicts Jesus with the crown of thorns on His head, looking toward Heaven where He will be in glory with God the Father.

Novena in Honor of the Most Holy Face of Jesus

"I firmly wish that my face reflecting the intimate pains of my soul, the suffering and love of my heart, be more honored! Whoever gazes upon me already consoles me."

Our Lord Jesus Christ recited this to Sister Pierina, a nun from the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception in Italy during the early 1900,s. Jesus appeared to her, asking her to spread this prayer to all people in devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus.
