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)
