Right now, I&#8217;m off work while I recover from Lyme disease. Where I work, there are nuns living on one side of the building, and a convent behind us. About two years ago, with worries on my mind, I decided to go for a walk. As I rounded a bend, I was suddenly struck with awe as the sun rose over the trees. It was lightly snowing, and though I&#8217;d walked there many times before, I was overcome with an indescribable feeling. It seemed to emanate from the sun, filling me with something I can only describe as grace.<\/p>\n<p>I took out my phone and snapped a couple of pictures. Weeks later, as I reviewed them, I marveled at how clear the snowflakes appeared. In one photo, I noticed a tiny turquoise light, no larger than a snowflake. Out of curiosity, I zoomed in, and to my amazement, the light revealed a face identical to the one on the Shroud of Turin.<\/p>\n<p>I showed the picture to many people without suggesting what I thought it resembled, yet everyone immediately said, &#8220;That looks like Jesus.&#8221; I sent the photo to my boss, and she replied, &#8220;Andrea, oh my gosh! That&#8217;s the face I pray to every day\u2014the face on the Shroud of Turin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I still can&#8217;t believe it myself.<\/p>\n<p>God Bless you all.
