The Bible Was Pointing to the Holy Face All Along | Holy Face S3E8
Did you know the Holy Face of Jesus is woven throughout the entire Bible?
Most Catholics associate the Holy Face devotion with Saint Veronica, Sister Marie of St. Peter, or Venerable Leo Dupont—but the foundation of this devotion begins thousands of years earlier in Sacred Scripture itself.
In this episode of The Holy Face Series, we journey from Genesis to the Book of Revelation, uncovering one of the most beautiful and overlooked themes in the entire Bible: the Face of God.
Why did Adam hide from the Face of the Lord? Why did Moses long to see God's Face? Why did King David repeatedly pray, "Thy Face, O Lord, will I seek"? Why did the prophets cry out for God to show His Face? And how does all of this find its fulfillment in Jesus Christ?
We'll explore the writings of the Church Fathers—including St. Augustine, St. Ambrose, St. John Chrysostom, and St. Gregory the Great—as they explain the biblical meaning of the Face of Christ. You'll also discover why St. Paul declares that "the glory of God" is revealed in the Face of Jesus Christ, making this one of the most profound Christological themes in Scripture.
Using original Church documents, ancient biblical texts, and centuries of Catholic tradition, this episode reveals that the Holy Face devotion is not a medieval invention—but the fulfillment of a mystery hidden throughout the Bible from the very beginning.
If you've ever wondered why the saints had such a deep love for the Holy Face of Jesus, this episode will forever change how you read Sacred Scripture.
