Meditation on the Holy Face by veilofveronica Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 1 John 3:2 Gazing Upon The Holy Face BY: ASHLEY BLACKBURN Look upon the Holy Face of Jesus O how he loves you How he has been waiting for you He sees you He sees your loved ones, those you are most worried about, those you lift up in prayer to him He sees your station in life He sees your situation, all you have been through, and all you are going through right now Hes sees you in your entirety He sees all that you are, all that you’ve done, and all that you he hopes for you to do His eyes are the eyes of gentleness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of perfect charity Behind his gaze is Our Heavenly Father who is all powerful, all knowing and all loving Coming from his Most Holy Face is the Holy Breath of Christ The same breath that he shared with you upon your creation The same breath he shared with you at your Baptism The same breath he strengthened you with at your Confirmation This Holy Breath of Christ is what sustains you now and always Allow him to breathe upon you now Close your eyes and breathe in the Holy Breath of Christ Invite the Holy Spirit in This Spirit that lives and moves between you and Jesus Take a deep breath in Allow it to completely fill your lungs And then imagine the breath of Christ flowing throughout your entire body healing your wounds restoring your hope Now talk to Jesus from this place He already knows your heart’s deepest longings, for he placed those longings into your heart Speak to him as your best friend Be honest with him in this moment Then reverence the silence as you wait for his response === Silence === Your faith is a gift from God In exchange for trust in him, He gives you the gift of faith Trust even in the darkness Even in the uncertainties Even in the pain Speak these words now: “Jesus I trust in you”
