The legend of Veronica, who wipes his face with a veil of Jesus has nothing to do with the Holy Face in the Vatican

Antonio Theseus


A Manoppello, an old tradition, the Holy Face is the veil with which a character named Veronica - identified in apocryphal gospels of the Acts of Pilate with the hemorrhaging woman healed by Jesus (Mt 9, 20-22, Mk 5, 25 - 34, Luke 8, 43-48) - has wiped the face of the Redeemer in His way to Calvary. The episode not narrated in the canonical Gospels, by Fifteenth century is also included in the Sixth Station of the Cross to represent the popular piety that meditates on the suffering endured by Jesus' own Beyond its representation is thought however that it was mainly a source of approximately 325, the historian Eusebius of Caesarea to convince the Catholic Church to include the figure of Veronica for a retreat. From how to read in this paper below, some old memories passed down by word of mouth even attest from hemorrhage.

From the "Ecclesiastical History" VII, 18:

"As I mentioned Caesarea Philippi (ie bread) does not seem convenient to ignore a story worthy of memory the rear. The hemorrhage, which is known as the Savior in the Gospels was healed of his disease, said to be a native of this city. Here it is still singled out his house and a beautiful monument in memory of the benefit received by the Savior. On a large rock in front of the house was the home hemorrhage, stands the bronze statue of a woman who bends the knee and outstretched hands in the attitude of the person who begs. In front of her, there is another bronze statue of a man standing, wrapped in a beautiful coat, which stretches out his hand to the woman. It is said that this statue portrays Jesus' remains to this day. We saw the same our eyes during our stay in that city .

As I mentioned above, the legend of which Veronica wipes the face of Jesus has only just started in the fifteenth century. but his imagery has already been shown for the first time on a biblical text from 1300 translated into French by Roger d'Argenteuil: pity for the suffering of the pious women of the Redeemer is just an imaginary reason. However from this point on, many miniatures of the Bible will use this icon, and so slowly around it gives rise to a popular belief. Just in 1300, Pope Boniface VIII and the first Jubilee index for pilgrims arriving in Rome is the shroud of Christ Veronica called the most important Merabilia Urbis to go first to worship (Dante, Paradiso XXXI singing):

As one who perhaps

Croatia Cometh to gaze at our Veronica,

that its ancient fame is never sated,

but says in thought, while it is displayed:

`My Lord, Christ Jesus, true God, or was so

done your appearance? ';

Why this unique definition of" Veronica "would be served is considered to indicate the shroud of Christ (which, as we saw it was known even before the law) and the hemorrhaging woman who is believed to have wiped with a cloth at the face of Jesus?


To give an exact answer to this question you need to connect some facts.


In 1199, the pilgrim Gervase of Tilbury says that the name Veronica, referring to the Holy Shroud is known in Rome, resulting from the voice struck with the Latin word "real" and the Greek word "Eikon" = Vera Icon, While true image of Jesus going back in time, namely in 400, Macario magnesium, bishop of Lydia, writes that the hemorrhaging has mentioned his name Berenike Eusebio (Apocritikos I, 6, 1-8) Macedonian name by which derives the name Veronica in Latin.

Now, the term derives etymologically from the ancient greek Berenike Ferene "Φερενίκη" meaning bringer of victory . And the Holy Mandylion of Edessa, which according to tradition was found in the sixth century in a niche above the gates of the city of Edessa (Turkey), is considered just a relic of the bearer of victory by the Byzantine armies so much so that is taken as standard for the battles.

The word means in Syriac Mandylion handkerchief, napkin. And this relic is already mentioned in the Acts of Thaddeus who is an apocryphal gospel written right in the city of Edessa in the third century in Syriac - the language of the time - but lost. With the reappearance of the sacred relic in the city (the same course some centuries before had been hidden to be preserved by the Roman persecutions of Christians), when the empire is now the law in force in favor of freedom of worship built by Constantine in the fourth century, then attention will be seeking a copy of Acts of Thaddeus retranslated in greek and adapted in the Doctrine of Addai, right in the sixth century, to talk again of the relic that bears the marks left by Christ (the first translation was made by Eusebius of Caesarea between 310 and 325). To describe the Mandylion in the new version is also used the term tetradiplon (which makes us think that originally the sacred relic was actually a package consisting of a long sheet folded four times double above with the shroud). This thesis is supported by historical sources dating from the mid-tenth century "Codex Latinus Vossianus Q 69" in the letter sent by Jesus to King Abgar reported nell'apocrifo Acts of Thaddeus is written: "If you really want to see my face, I send you this tissue (bundle) on which you will be able to see not only my face but my body divinely transformed. " Even in two miniatures of the Codex Skylitzes of the late eleventh century, the shroud and the sheet are shown together. Since the discovery of the Sacred

Mandylion onwards, so begins the canonical representation of the Holy Face of Jesus drawn from it.



Above, the king Abgar receiving Mandylion (X century icon, the Monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai). Looking at the left hand of the king, holding the bundle, you will discover a side of the sheet folded, a bit 'far right of his hand, the shroud is covered by the shroud which is portrayed with the fringe hanging.

















Left, Pantokrator icon with the face that was derived from S. Mandylion (gold coin made Solidus minted by Emperor Michael III in the ninth century), on the right, the Holy Face. The red arrows, his mouth half open and Cross that I passed on the two faces attest to six points of congruence, we see on the left cheek, and that therefore the Lord is right, it's swollen to the other for a blow that Jesus received from his captors during the Passion.



So the definition of "Veronica", which was once reported hemorrhage healed by Jesus but as we have seen had the meaning "bearer of victory" and the same name relatable to sudarium Christi which ultimately meant " Acheropita, were associated together in the world to understand that there was a very important relic of the Savior who was once called Mandylion and Veronica again. The sacred relic, which as I demonstrated with my studies is almost certain that it is the Holy Face, is thus not the product of a legend, but it is a burial shroud of fine linen and royal.

The Sacred Mandylion displayed on the walls of the city of Edessa with the Byzantine army of Justinian I, who rejects the siege led by the Sassanid Chosroes I. This story has been handed down from Evagrius School, Byzantine historian. To describe the image, Eikon Theoteuktos Evagrius uses words, which means image made by God (iconic).

Tomorrow, November 3, contribution to the Holy Father of the symbolic key of the city of Manoppello

During the papal audience to be held tomorrow at the Vatican, a delegation from the Prefect of Pescara, by Archbishop Bruno Forte and Mayor Gennaro Matarazzo will give the Holy Father Benedict XVI, the symbolic key of the city of Manoppello. To frame the ceremony there will be nourished schoolchildren of elementary schools of the city center and scale and a large number of people arriving by coach.

Although almost all the mass media is indifferent to the event (enough to see that so far not even a regional television news has given news) in the sky but the event will be celebrated tomorrow because I am convinced that Mary, Pure evangelizing of God here on earth, will put another solid base so that one day in the Basilica of Manoppello the most senior members of the religions of the Christian faith will find themselves mirrored in the truth with the Face of the Son of God incarnate. The contribution of the symbolic key to the Holy Father has Manoppello precisely the value of allowing the Pope, by all citizens, to organize in this area chosen by the Lord any celebration.

nice video clip with a child who greets the Holy Face

the website You Tube I found a nice video clip about a boy who tries to greet Jesus and wants to play with the hand. Looking at the Holy Face of Manoppello seems as if we were in front of a person alive, human, smiling at little. The video also gives us an opportunity to introduce a better reflection of Chiara Lubich on the relationship of grace that Jesus had with the children.

.

"Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God" (Mk 10, 14).

"Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God" Jesus always disconcerting to his manner and talk. It differs from the conventional wisdom that saw children insignificant from the social point of view. The apostles do not want them around him in the world of "adult" would only disturb. The chief priests and scribes "seeing the children crying in the temple, 'Hosanna to the son of David', they became indignant and asked him to bring order. But Jesus has an entirely different attitude in front of children: he calls them, cuddle them, extends his hands over them, blesses them, puts them even as a model to his disciples: "who is like theirs is the kingdom of God " In another passage in the Gospel Jesus says if we do not convert and become like children will enter the kingdom of heaven. For the kingdom of God belongs to those who looks like a child? Confident because the child is abandoned to his father and mother, believes in their love. When you feel safe in their hands, not afraid of anything. Even when around him feel that there is a danger, it is enough to shake even stronger now that mom or dad to feel protected. Sometimes the father seems to place it in difficult positions, to make an exciting jump, for example. Even then, the child throws confident. is how Jesus wants the disciples of the kingdom of heaven. The Christian authentic, like the child, believes in God's love, she throws herself into the arms of our Heavenly Father, places unlimited confidence in him, nothing makes him more frightening because you do not feel alone. Even in the trials believed the love of God, believes that everything that happens is for his own good. He has a concern? Confides to the Father and the child's trust is confident that he will solve everything. As a child is abandoned entirely to him, without making calculations. "for to such belongs the kingdom of God" Children depend wholly by their parents for food, clothing, housing, health, education ... We, too, "Children's Gospel," we depend on everything from the Father feeds us how to feed the birds in the sky, as we dress like the lilies of the field, knows what we need even before you ask him, and there gives it. The same kingdom of God will not be conquered, it accepts the gift from the hand of the Father. Still, the child is not evil because I do not know. The disciple of the Gospel, in love, unaware of the evil, remains pure and innocent again becomes. The child, because he has experience, he goes towards life with confidence, how always to new adventure. The "baby Gospel" puts it all in God's mercy, and forget the past, each day begins a new life, available to the promptings of the Spirit, always creative. The child can not learn to speak for itself, it needs someone to teach him. The disciple of Jesus does not follow his reasoning, but all learn from the Word of God to speak and live the Gospel. The child is led to imitate his father. If you ask him what he'll do very often say to his father's trade. Indeed, the "evangelical child" imitates the heavenly Father, who is love, and love as he loves, loves everyone, because the Father does the sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust "because he loves first loved us when we were yet sinners, free love, without interest, because so does our Heavenly Father ... That's why Jesus loves being surrounded by children and points to them as a model: "Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God " In fact, the children continue to surprise us. "Yesterday, my father asked me to go into the cellar to get something - Betty writes to me, a girl of six years in Milan. - On the stairs was dark and I was scared. Then I prayed to Jesus and I felt he was close to me. " Irene Ilaria, Laura, three sisters of Florence, to be with her mother to go shopping by car. They pass my grandfather's house and ask to go to greet him. "You go - my mother says - I'll wait." When they return to ask: "Why do not you come?". She said, "My grandfather did not behave well with me, so understand ...". And Ilaria: "But Mom, we love everyone, even our enemies ...". The mother does not know what to say. He looks and smiles, "You are right. Wait here." And salt alone by his grandfather. We can learn from children how to accept the kingdom of God Chiara Lubich

The disfigured face of the Passion of Jesus

If the Shroud and the Holy Face of Jesus are the true relics (for me highly likely), then this is the face disfigured by the blood of the passion that comes from their overlap. Please note to all those who for the first time in this blog are linked and that therefore have not yet read the previous posts, that the Holy Face is not only complete the look of the face of the shroud, but also brings with it the signs of resurrection particularly highlighted when the image is illuminated on the front with a dark background behind it.

The development was carried out by Antonio Theseus, an expert in 3D graphics.

In the picture we see just below the scroll of the letter preserved in the library of the New Year and of the Etruscan town of Cortona.

Silvestro, called in Latin "magister Silvester de Adria" in 1300 was scriptor of Pope Boniface VIII. On 22 February, Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, wrote this letter to the entire Christian world when he announced the first anniversary of history in Rome. The parchment shows a thumbnail with the Holy Face between the apostles Peter and Paul doubled at the top and the bottom in a mirror, indicating the mirror image of the truth of the Face of Christ incarnate, who could be seen in a mirror just as impressed on the shroud on one side and down ' other (diapositività of the Holy Face).

romeo Here we see a hat that bears the portrayal of the Holy Face: detail of "Triumph of the church militant" (1366-67) by Andrea Bonaiuto , Church of S. Maria Novella, Florence. In the Middle Ages, there being no photography, were then painters to tell with meticulous detail in their works the events of that time

Even Dante and Petrarch were among the pilgrims who traveled to Rome to venerate the Holy Face in the Middle Ages who was also known as Veronica or sudarium Christi. As we witness the two great poets, the purpose of the pilgrims was not so much to see Pope or pray at the tomb of the apostles but to admire how the image of God incarnate in the person of Christ singing XXXI of Paradise, 103/108 verses, in which Dante describes to us the sense of emotion that gripped the pilgrim at the sight of the relic "... the one who perhaps of Croatia Cometh to gaze at our Veronica / that for the ancient fame is never sated / but says in thought, while it is displayed / My Lord Iesu Christ, true God, / or was so done your appearance? " And even Dante (Vita Nova XL 1) "... to see the blessed image, which Iesu Christ gave us for example from his beautiful face ..." Petrarch (Canzoniere , XVI) "... and he comes Rome, following 'the desire / to gaze on the countenance of the man / who still hopes to see up there in heaven. "

The mirror image of the truth of the Holy Face was already the subject of representation in miniature of the Code Skylitzes, dating from the late eleventh century and preserved in the museum of Madrid : in the year 944, the Patriarch of Constantinople has the Holy Mandylion - for me the sheet of the Holy Shroud - The Roman emperor of the East Lecapeno. In the scene representing the artist wanted portray the image that was impressed on the shroud was placed over his head in the tomb of Jesus and which reflects the sovereign. To distinguish the holy shroud - that wraps the emperor - with the shroud, the miniaturist it draws with the fringes on the edges. Although this was originally a cloth towels components of the S. Mandylion but at that time was kept by the Pope in Rome.

With the invention of printing were so many reproductions of Veronica (Holy Face) inserted in the Books of Hours and Missals

In it we see a depiction of the many reproductions of the shroud of Manoppello (top) together with the shroud of Turin (bottom)

Contemplation of the Face of Jesus Christ from Psalms

The spirit is the most important component of man because through it can show the Father face to face for eternity. Depends on its purity and soul from the body when these other substances of life become one with the risen Christ (Ps. 43, 3-5; Lk. 4, 18, Jn. 1, 18, Jn. 12, 45). Be one with the Redeemer, it means:

fulfill His will, applying in practice the lessons are written in the Gospel (Ps. 17.15; Sl. 11.7; Sl. 16, 11, Sl. 18, 31);

eat the bread of eternal life ( Jn. 6, 47-51);

drink the blood of life, a sign of the New and Eternal Covenant (John . 6, 53-59).

Only in this context, then, you can contemplate the light of the Face of the Father in the Son (Ps. 24, 4-6; Sl. 25, 1, Sl. 26, 6-7 , Sl. 29, 1-2; Sl. 31, 17-18):

Father, I recognize the blood of the Passion, a sign of the New and Eternal Covenant (Ps. 44, 18).

Father, I acknowledge and heal the wounds healed with scabs of blood Thy Omnipotence (Ps. 21, 6-7; Sl. 34, 6) .

Father, I recognize Your light eyes that look at you (Ps. 36, 10, Sl. 42, 2-3, Jn. 1.9) .

Father, I recognize Your Spirit in the breath of his mouth (Sl. 31, 22; Sl. 33, Sl. 20-22; Sl. 45, 3) .

Father in the Holy Face recognize all of you. Amen! (Ps. 2, 7, Sl. 3, 9 ).

"I have been a few days ago at the Shrine of Manoppello in Abruzzo in central Italy, where he kept a cloth that seems that of Veronica. Certainly it is extraordinary picture, because it is not painted, and seeing the light on all sides, reflecting the exquisite face of the Lord. After the visit, I was asked to leave a thought on the register and I wrote simply: "The Face that contemplate forever." (Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini)

Even Saint Padre Pio would pray before the Holy Face

In the Holy Catholic Church is the worship of the canonical 'icon. It may represent the Holy Trinity, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saints and Angels. When Jesus commissioned St. Peter to build His Church, said

" I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. "

So, be absorbed in the contemplation of a holy icon means you can enter the Grace and Mystery of the Lord is a true elevation of our spirit for transcendence, that is, to the Kingdom of Heaven. That's why San Padre Pio, the day before he died, he would have found in a bi-desired by the Power of the Lord in front of 'acheropita Image of the Holy Face of Jesus Christ, that figure is not only not made by hands human, but also the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Below byssus of the Holy Face seen with the electron microscope:

As we can see, the veil can be demonstrated in granules or filaments of dust, but not paint pigments. The reddish tone found only on the top layer of each wire (but that certain rays more intense lighting, flooding occurred in the fabric here and there, they have hidden now returning to its natural color fiber) is for me due to oxidation and dehydration, caused by a very slight scorching, and the blood of the Passion of Jesus strikingly the Holy Veil of the cellulose fibril on each wire.

In any work of art, the glue (medium or collagen), which serves to hold the color pigments on a canvas with a brush, cover the inevitable gaps between the warp and weft making the static representation. As you can see through the veil of Manoppello magnified, however, this substance is not present "to remember that each area of \u200b\u200bdense texture named" a canvas "is about two or three hairs combined with the width" . From the other photos in this picture you can see that the Holy Face mosta the light appears as a dynamic and not static, because change in appearance, in detail and in colors .

ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS



Venerable Brother Bishops,

dear brothers and sisters !



would first like to thank the Lord for today's meeting, simple and familiar in a place where we can meditate on the mystery of divine love contemplating an icon of the Holy Face. To all of you present here is my most heartfelt gratitude for your warm welcome and for the commitment and discretion with which you have supported my private pilgrimage. I greet and thank in particular that your Archbishop has expressed common sentiments. Thanks for the gifts you have offered me and that I appreciate very precisely in their capacity as "signs" as he called them Archbishop Forte. There are signs, in fact, the affective and effective communion that binds the people of this dear land of Abruzzo to the Successor of Peter. A special greeting turn to you, priests, religious and seminarians gathered here. Since you can not meet the entire diocesan community, I'm glad you are there to represent you, who are already devoted to the priestly ministry and the consecrated life or the way to the priesthood. I like people as in love with Christ, attracted by him and determined to make his life a continuous search of his Holy Face. Finally, a grateful greeting to the community of the Capuchin Fathers, who is hosting us for centuries and that takes care of this shrine, visited by many pilgrims.



While just pause for prayer, I thought the first two Apostles, who, urged by John the Baptist, followed Jesus at the Jordan River - as we read the beginning of the Gospel of John (cf. Jn 1.35 to 37). The evangelist says that Jesus turned around and asked them, 'What do you want? ". They said, "Rabbi, where are you staying?". He said, "Come and see" (cf. Jn 1:38-39). The same day the two who were following him had an unforgettable experience which prompted them to say: "We have found the Messiah" (Jn 1:41). One a few hours earlier as a simple "rabbi" had acquired a precise identity, that of Christ awaited for centuries. But, in fact, what a long journey still ahead of those disciples! They could not even imagine how the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth could be deep as its "face" would be unfathomable, inscrutable. So much so that, after having lived together three years, Philip, one of them, to hear him say at the Last Supper: "For a long time with you and you do not know me, Philip?". And then the words that sum up the news of the revelation of Jesus: "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (Jn 14:9). Only after his passion when they encountered the risen, the Spirit will enlighten their minds and hearts, the Apostles understand the meaning of the words that Jesus had said, and recognize him as the Son of God, the promised Messiah for the redemption the world. Then to become his tireless messengers, courageous witnesses to martyrdom.



"Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." Yes, dear brothers and sisters, to "see God" need to know Christ and to let oneself be molded by his Spirit who guides believers into all truth "(cf. Jn 16, 13).



Those who meet Jesus, who let themselves be attracted by him and is willing to follow him even to sacrifice their lives, personally experience, as he did on the cross, that only the "grain of wheat" that falls to the ground and dies, it bears "much fruit" (Cf. Jn 12:24). This is the way of Christ, the way of total love that overcomes death: who takes it and "hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life" (Jn 12, 25).



words, he lives in God already on this earth, attracted and transformed by the radiance of his face. This is the experience of the true friends of God, the saints, who have recognized and loved in their brothers, especially the poor and needy, the face of that God long contemplated with love in prayer. They are encouraging examples for us to imitate; assure us that if we walk this path with faith, the path of love, we also - As the psalmist sings - will be satisfied with the presence of God (cf. Ps 16 [17], 15).



"Jesu ... quam bonus you quaerentibus! - Are you, Jesus, for those who seek !" Is how you sang just now running the old hymn "Jesu, dulcis memory , "which some people blame in San Bernardo. It 'a hymn that acquires rare eloquence in the shrine dedicated to the Holy Face, which calls to mind Psalm 23 (24): " are the men who seek him, who seek your face, God of Jacob" (v. 6). But what is "the generation" that seeks the face of God, which generation deserves to "go the mountain of the Lord "and" stand in his holy place? "The Psalmist explains: those who have" clean hands and pure heart ", who do not speak a lie, do not swear at the expense of their neighbor (cf. vv. 3-4). Thus, to enter into communion with Christ and contemplate his face, to recognize the face of the Lord in that of brothers and daily events are needed "clean hands and pure hearts." Clean hands, that lives illuminated by the truth of love that overcomes indifference, doubt, falsehood and selfishness, hearts are essential and pure hearts enraptured by divine beauty, as does the Little Teresa of Lisieux in her prayer to the Holy Face, hearts stamped with the face of Christ.



Dear priests, if he stays imprinted in you, shepherds of the flock of Christ, the sanctity of his face, do not be afraid, even the faithful entrusted to your care will be infected and transformed.



And you, seminarians, who are training to be responsible guides of the Christian people, do not be attracted by anything other than Jesus and the desire to serve his Church. Also I would say to you, men and women, so that your activities may be a visible reflection of the goodness and mercy divine.



"Your face, Lord, I seek": seeking the Face of Jesus must be the desire of all Christians, indeed, we are "the generation" that look in his face this time the face of the "God of Jacob." If we persevere in seeking the face of the Lord, at the end of our earthly pilgrimage, he, Jesus, our eternal joy, our reward and glory for ever: "Sis Jesu nostrum gaudium, / es futurus Praemium here: / you sit in our glory, for cuncta semper saecula.



This is the certainty that motivated the saints of your region, among whom I would particularly like to mention Gabriel and Camillo de Lellis, they deserve our prayers and our reverent remembrance. But the thought of special devotion now turn to the "Queen of all saints, the Virgin Mary, whom you venerate in the various shrines and chapels scattered across the valleys and mountains of Abruzzo. The Madonna, in whose face more than any other creature you can see the outline of the Incarnate Word, watch over the families and parishes, towns and nations of the world. Help us the Mother of the Creator to respect the nature, the great gift of God that we can admire here watching the beautiful mountains that surround us. This gift, however, is increasingly exposed to serious risks of environmental degradation and should be defended and protected. It is urgently necessary, as noted in your Archbishop, is appropriately highlighted by the Day of reflection and prayer for the protection of creation, which is being celebrated by the Church in Italy.



Dear brothers and sisters, and once again thank you for your presence, on all of you and your loved ones, I invoke the blessing of God with the ancient biblical formula: "May the Lord bless you and protect. The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious. The Lord lift his countenance upon you and grant you peace "(cf. Nm 6: 24-26). Amen!

Holy Face: In the mouth the breath of the Risen Christ and the Spirit

reflection and prayer Antonio Theseus contemplating the Holy Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ

who surrenders to the bliss of contemplation of the Holy Face, is not entranced by the beautiful eyes that just stare you in the depths of the heart but also from the mouth half open.

The minute of the Resurrection of the Living, the light of Christ's face imprinted on the linen look is desired with the mouth that still bears the marks of the Passion (in the picture above we can see the grimace that he had assumed the mouth spasm of Jesus in the last breath before death on the cross, with the lower lip a bit 'up and withdrew in early to cover the dental arch below). So if this was the mouth of Jesus gave their last breath before death, the Risen One in the same state that issued the first breath after death (resurrection from the dead).

The Holy Face of the Savior is the expression of peace, of serenity, grace and mercy because God the Father, His only begotten Son with reviving the look of love that sets it apart, he wanted to show the world that death no longer has power over the lives of righteous men: they were freed from original sin. So for those who trust in Jesus Christ, putting into practice His teachings in the life, death is no longer ruled by the devil, but it is only a step in this earthly life to eternal life by the Almighty. In every life a true Christian here on earth stay the Mystical Body of Christ (transubstantiation). And for this reason the body and the soul does not suffer any corruption after death because they are raised by an unseen light of the Firstborn Son of God, recombining with the spirit of life that is given back to the Father before his death, the body and the ' soul is transformed into a bright light similar to that of an angel, while in the visible flesh decomposes back to being dust of the earth.

So I think from what I wanted to say this concept is to be collected:

"If, during the celebration of the Eucharist, transubstantiation to the 'consecrated host is transformed by the Holy Spirit and the Flesh wine into Blood of the Redeemer, and that the meat becomes so right for each food for eternal life, and drink the blood for eternal life, it follows, then, that after the death of every disciple, invisible, his body (and thus its meat) is transformed by Christ in light to enter and remain in the body (and hence in the Flesh) the Son of God "

Prayer Antonio Theseus

Father, I recognize the blood of the Passion, a sign of the New and Eternal Covenant.

Father I acknowledge and heal the wounds healed with scabs of blood your omnipotence.

Father, I recognize your light eyes watching you.

Father, I recognize Your Spirit in the breath of his mouth.

Father in the Holy Face recognize all of you. Amen!

Psalm 16, 7-11:

"I will bless the Lord who counsels me;

at night I warn my kidneys.

The Lord is always before my eyes:

if you are on my right, never be shaken.

This is my heart glad

aloud and my underwear,

even my flesh will rest sure.

Yes, they did not know my soul to Sheol in prey,

not allow your faithful descend into the grave.

You will show me the path of life:

plenty of joy in your presence,

delights at your right hand end. "
