Our Lord is risen. Our God lives. The Shroud of Turin is speaking to all Christians now more than at any other time in our current history when so many of our religious freedoms are under attack by the US government. John C. Iannone is a Catholic writer and lecturer who is traveling throughout the South during our pre- Easter preparations to bring the story of the holy Shroud to us.
One can only marvel at what this holy garment reveals to us about the suffering Jesus went through to be one of us and to suffer in such horrible ways to draw out our sins and weaknesses into his own Divinity. The Shroud’s authenticity was attacked in the late 1980s by the New York Times which was doing what it does best– mocking the beliefs of Christians.

He probably was the guy. Dr. Jackson was the one who put the image of the Shroud through a certain piece of NASA equipment and discovered that the only way the image could have been produced was as Jesus was passing through the cloth as in the act of Resurrection. Neat stuff.
Yes! That’s him! Next time you see him, please tell him that I have not forgotten his speech and I never will.
Sure thing.
Good to know. Just got out of the hospital today. Blood pressure shot up over two hundred at work yesterday. Good thing I work at a nursing home. Felt dizzy and asked one of the nurses to check me out. Nearer my God to thee. Better today. Got to be on medication now.
If you are overweight (I've lost 140 pounds), get off the carbohydrates. They are what causes hypertension. . . it is not salt OR fats. Lose the weight. My current girlfriend has lost 243 pounds. . . and also did it and maintains her weight as do I by eschewing carbs. 40 grams per day for her, 60 for me. We BOTH used to have very high blood pressures. Mine was just measured yesterday at 117 over 65, hers averages 110 over 60, and she has a resting heart rate of 50! Neither of us takes any Meds for hypertension any more.
Thanks. Never topped the scale at more than 143 my whole life and been off the booze for 24 years. Don’t know what caused this although the wife’s convinced I eat ‘’crap’’. Chicken, beef,coffee are crap? Well maybe the coffee. I dunno. Gonna do what the doc says. Might quit one of the two jobs I work. 70 hour weeks aren’t for a guy my age.(I’m 58). Be good friend.
