It wasn't my imagination...

In an earlier post from a few weeks back, I mentioned an experience I had during one of my first times in adoration where I saw Jesus' face in the monstrance. I had wondered if I was imagining it or if there was an image etched onto the glass and still had been wondering to this day what happened. Well, I may have found my answer!

I happened to stumble upon a terrific site called savior.org where you can do Adoration online. They have a live picture of the Blessed Sacrament so home bound people and the like can spend time in Adoration without having to step foot inside a chapel.

So I was visiting the site and decided to read the testimonials. I came across this one and my heart stopped.

I know that this will sound crazy, but I guess I should start from the beginning. Tonight was the first time I prayed my rosary in front of Jesus online. Right after I finished saying the rosary. I saw a distinct face. I can still see his eyes, crown of thorns, nose and beard. I cannot explain it, but I guess he must be very pleased with your work. I am not crazy. I do go adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in person where I live, but just wanted to pray in front of him at home tonight on your site rather than not adoring him at all. When I came to write to you I still saw his face. I will be telling many other people about what a blessing your site is to all around the world.
Love in Christ,   


I'm so happy to find I'm not the only one and that this just confirms to me that I really did see Him. I was blessed with a vision and I'm just so happy to finally be certain and no longer have to be a doubting Thomas on this incident.

I'm guessing that Jesus showed Himself to me early on in my faith formation so that I would understand that He really is present in the Eucharist. It's sometimes hard to understand this early on when studying Catholicism. The Eucharist was what called me on a fateful day during a family member's Catholic wedding. I had no clue about the Eucharist and what it meant but when I saw the priest consecrating the bread and wine I found myself wanting to cry and told myself
"I WANT THAT!" 
I have since read of others who had similar experiences and it's really awesome! Praise God!
