Revised Edition This is the story of the Sudarium of Oviedo, an ancient bloodstained cloth, believed to have covered the head of Jesus of Nazareth after his crucifixion. The author traces the known history of the linen and presents the up-to-date conclusions of EDICES. The investigative team that has been studying the cloth since 1989, discusses the cultural significance of the crucifixion and blood in the context of first-century Jerusalem. They demonstrate the significance of the famous passage of John 20:5-7, as analyzed by some of the most important Biblical scholars of the world. The book contains twenty pages of color photographs, many of which are from EDICES. These photographs explain visually the bloodstains and wrinkles found on the cloth, how the cloth was used, its comparison with the Shroud of Turin and the historical odyssey from Jerusalem to Spain.

From the Shroud of Turin and Image of Guadalupe, to the modernday apparitions of Our Blessed Mother in Medjugorje, in the former Yugoslavia; mystical phenomena are in our midst and all around us, and it is up to us to open our eyes and see the presence of God. Few in our busy world have time to read long treatises on 2000 years of Catholic miracles. This book, in a little over 100 pages, takes you on a brief tour of some of the more legitimate miracles in the Church, with a focus on apparitions of Our Blessed Mother in modern times. What is Our Lady so urgently trying to tell us? Why do we have statues of her crying the world over, and children seeing visions of her? Did other-worldy hands "paint" the Image of Guadalupe? What about the Shroud of Turin? The Devil and exorcisms; are they real? Come explore in this brief book.

La voix de la miséricorde La voix de la miséricorde est composée de quatre parties. 1. La miséricorde de Dieu pour ses créatures basée sur l'Écriture en particulier le Nouveau Testament. L'histoire de l'enfant prodigue est longuement développée. 2. La miséricorde de la créature envers tous les êtres humains fait la deuxième partie du livre. Cette partie est basée uniquement sur les histoires du Nouveau Testament. Si Dieu est miséricordieux envers nous, il est donc impératif que nous soyons miséricordieux envers nos frères et s urs. 3. Le Saint-Esprit a inspiré directement la troisième partie de l' uvre. L'idée de "Mercy à Dieu" était totalement étrangère à l'auteur lorsque l'inspiration lui est venue. Comment une créature peut avoir pitié de son Créateur? Lisez la troisième partie du livre. 4. Mercy envers soi-même forme le contenu de la quatrième partie. Dans cette section, l'auteur explique comment et pourquoi un amour sain de soi devrait naturellement nous amener à être miséricordieux envers soi-même.

"In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the 'stigmatic': young women who attracted widespread interest thanks to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the 'saints' and religious 'celebrities' of their time. With their 'miraculous' bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge about them spread via modern media and their fame became marketable, they developed into religious 'celebrities'"--
