ISSUE 39 of the Holy Face devotion: Fr Chris Alar, superior and exceptional teacher / preacher of the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, Massachusetts, USA, explores the Holy Face devotion for the first time including something that blew him away: Pope St John Paul II said that the Holy Face of Jesus should be the focus for all catholics in this 3rd millenium.
No other devotion has been recommended as THE devotion for any millenium or one thousand years by any pope but the Holy Face devotion is the one John Paul is urging for us.
Perhaps this is because it directly tackles unbelief and all forms of idolatry plus the spiritual oppressions and warfare that may accompany depression, despair and suicidal thoughts and plans.
Turning away from the Face of God can have devastating consequences downstream, as seen throughout bible history. Consequences that include: the suffering of the most innocent...If there is no God, then noone including myself is in Imago Dei and one can imagine no consequences to the corresponding culture of death. A fallacy as we know, undone in its entirety, by the Holy Face devotion.
