I noticed the date is from two years ago. Is it still occurring?

This is a wonderful miracle, particularly for our times when so many no longer believe in the Real Presence.

[Pahuanui]

That would be soley your opinion.

Of course. I haven't presented it as anything other than my opinion.

The three "dots" at the bottom of the exposed Host make it look its an image of the Sacred Heart. Does anyone else see what I'm talking about?

There is a lot of evidence for what Christ looked like. There is a uniformity in icons from the early church depicting the face of Christ. The is the image seen from the Veronica. There is the image seen on the Shroud of Turin. The amazing thing is that all of these images are consistent in the details of the face they show.

Why does the shroud not have validity to your mind? If it is a forgery, it is one of the most amazing in history.

Why do you find it difficult to believe that the face of Jesus Christ, who we worship as God, would have been preserved and carried down through the centuries so that we may know it today?

So why do you need to come on here and harass us on this thread?

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Very interesting observation. You might consider writing it to the diocese.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

The lower central dot is definitely shaped like the Sacred Heart. I don't know how the left and right dots figure into it.

There may be some other significance, such as the Trinity.

So why do you need to come on here and harass us on this thread?

Why do you feel you've been 'harassed' when I've only asked some questions?

[Hermann the Cherusker]

"Why do you feel you've been 'harassed' when I've only asked some questions?"

Baloney. You started off by harassing us.

Look at your first abusive post.

How would they know?

No one knows what Christ looked like, so it might just as well be the face of, say, Agamemnon or some plummer in Reno named Floyd.

If you want to ask questions, try starting off with a level of respect.

The left and right dots look like the hands in the Icon that Pyro posted.

[dansangel]

In the original post, the photo to the right of the one you posted shows the middle object as being almost heart-shaped. Interesting observation!

[Pyro7480]

Yeah, that's where I noticed it orignally. In the upper-right part of the "heart," you can see a slightly-lighter shaded area that looks like a flame.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

Now I see it.

That is only evidence of the uniformity of some of the images, and does not address their accuracy.

There is the image seen on the Shroud of Turin. The amazing thing is that all of these images are consistent in the details of the face they show.

Given the techniques at the time and the extremely limited number of artists, I find it not quite as amazing as perhaps you do.

Why does the shroud not have validity to your mind? If it is a forgery, it is one of the most amazing in history.

It is inconclusive as to who, if anyone, is represented by that image.

Why do you find it difficult to believe that the face of Jesus Christ, who we worship as God, would have been preserved and carried down through the centuries so that we may know it today?

See above.

The shroud of Turin has a verya ccurate depiction of the face of Our Lord.

Abusive? You seem not to understand the meaning of the word, or are purposefully being over-sensitive to justify using it incorrectly.

I am quite respectful, and have said nothing to denigrate your religion or you, for that matter.

I specifically used Agamemnon because he predated Christ and there are images of him that are equally as dubious as to whether they accurately represent his likeness. I chose a fictional character to further emphasize the lack of any concrete evidence for either of the other two individuals.

I have no interest in discussion things with a dissimulator such as yourself. Go away and learn some manners.

Don't respond to me again.
