** (Fr. B: says priestly vestments are made of fine cloth to honor God) | |||
** very thin, as thin as a spiderweb | |||
* it is mentioned in the OT and Revelation | |||

* a '93 image shows | |||
** unusually thin | |||
** transparent, can read a newspaper behind it | |||
** image becomes invisible under UV / black light | |||
*** therefore it is not a painting, not ink or printing | |||
*** so the image is the result of an internal change in the fiber | |||
*** reflects light | |||
*** the image cannot be captured by a photograph | |||
** so it is miraculous | |||
** can't be appreciated unless seen in person | |||
* the moment: | |||
** Lord was carrying the cross | |||
** people all around, soldiers | |||
** and she wipes his face... an act of courage | |||
*** wanted to console the Lord | |||
