WOW I just looked again after I posted the information below. I do see Jesus’ face in that painting and it is not supposed to be that way! Thank you so much for sharing that!! I wonder if that is a sign that he is truly present. 🙂

My original post:

Oh you are referring to the painting on the front of the stand. Sorry for the misunderstanding. That is a classic scene depicting the final moments on the cross. Jesus is on the cross, at the foot of the cross on his one side is St. John, and on the other side is Mary. This scene is inspired by the following scripture:

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

John 19:25-27 (King James)

Here is another painting with the same theme:

I don’t mean to rain on anyone’s parade, but that’s a stretch.

Its looks like a properly proportioned face and head to me and I have a degree in art. What it really is of course is the crucifix against a bright section of sky behind it, but the proportions of the face that it creates is proper to a human head. Now maybe the artist deliberately planned the whole thing when he painted it, I don’t know.
 
It’s so wonderful for us to share in the presence of the Lord.The Lord iis trully;really and perpetually present in the Blessed sacrament;It is so wonderful.I can’t get my eyes off His face.
