Perfect beauty CANNOT be recreated.
Jesus told Faustina My gaze from this Image is like My gaze from the Cross. (326) One afternoon in Stockbridge, Father Seraphim Michalenko shared with us an astounding revelation, which took Our Lord's words another step deeper. In Father Seraphim's words:
Faustina would come to the artist every so often between January and June of 1934 and every time she came he would have to change the face because she didnt like it. It was at least 10 times and maybe more. So finally she came one day, and as far as she was concerned, the image was ugly, but Jesus said leave it in the state its in, it not good but it will do, you dont have to change it anymore... and thats the one that matches the Shroud.
