A Meditation on the Holy Shroud for Holy Saturday by a Reader.


The Holy Shroud of Turin 
Oh Holy Shroud, which wrapped our Divine Gift
After having suffered such terrible torments
Is now laid to rest on you like a bed
With your soft cloth you covered His Holy Body
The Holy Body which was torn and tormented
His Holy Head which was pierced, struck and insulted
His Holy Hands and Feet which were pierced with cruel nails
His Holy Shoulder which shone purple under the weight of the Cross
Oh Holy Shroud who soaked up the Precious Blood
Now worth more than the universe and everyone in it.
Who at last covered His poor exposed Body from the 
World which had caused Him so much humiliation
He suffers no more He is laid to rest to rise on the third day
He has gone to Hell and opened the gates of Heaven 
He will claim His Kingdom in the sky 
He will prepare a place where we will be happy
He will act as mediator between God and Man
But now His Body rests with you in this tomb 
You wrap Him like a gift, a sign that our faith is not in vain
When He leaves you and rises on the third day

But now stay with Him as He rests 
For so many men betrayed Him during His life 
And His Body only has you here with Him tonight.

Rev. Sam Osborne, Mysteries of the Mass, Gnosticon 4, Sept. 18th 2021. An Explanation of the Gnostic Rite of "Mass" that Leads Us to Wonder Why this Intentional Mass of the Albigensian, Manichean, and Gnostic Heretics is Almost Identical to the New Mass of the Masonic Paul VI.

"US-Friendly" Contact Within the Vatican Indicated Right After the Death of Pope Pius XII that US Governmental Authorities Must Use the American Cardinals to Prevent the Election of Cardinals Siri, Ottaviani, or Ruffini. The US Government Clearly Saw the Election of a Real Catholic to the Papal Throne in 1958 to be a Threat. Is there No Logical Connection between THIS Telegram and the Strange events of October 26,27, and 28th 1958 within the Sistine Chapel?
