FIRST, I WISH TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY TARDINESS IN WRITING THIS BLOG. I AM SURE THAT MANY OF YOU CAN UNDERSTAND. I TOOK SOME TIME OFF FROM MY MOTHER'S PASSING AND TRYING TO JUGGLE A FULL TIME JOB IN ADDITION TO TRYING TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR PADRE DOMENICO AND THE VOLTO SANTO CAN BE EXHAUSTING. HOWEVER, THE LORD HAS HELPED ME, WITHOUT OUR LORD JESUS, I COULD DO NOTHING!
THE NOVENA PRAYERS IN HONOR OF THE MOST HOLY FACE OF OUR LORD JESUS, CAN BE FOUND UNDER "MEDIA" IF YOU SCROLL DOWN. HERE I WILL WRITE THE "LITANY TO THE HOLY FACE".

(FOR ANYONE WHO IS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE VOLTO SANTO. IT IS THE RESUURECTION VEIL OF JESUS CHRIST, MENTIONED BY ST. JOHN, CHAPTER 20. AFTER LEAVING JERUSALEM, IT TRAVELED TO EDESSA, THEN TO CONSTANTINOPLE. DURING THE ICONOCLAST, IT WAS TAKEN TO ST. MARY OF THE MARTYRS IN ROME IN 704, KNOWN AS THE PANTHEON BEFORE GOING TO THE BASILICA OF ST. PETER'S IN 705. WHERE IT REMAINED UNTIL THE SACK OF ROME. POPE INNOCENT III IN 1208 TOOK THIS IMAGE IN PROCESSION TO SANTO SPIRITO IN SASSIA.)
