You Shall Be Like God: 33 Promises of the Holy Face Devotion

In every human heart is an instinctive craving to be like God. It was the promise of satisfying this ambition which made the serpent’s temptation so appealing to our First Parents. This same desire is at the root of all the evils which we are witnessing in modern-day society. The desire is not wrong in itself, but it must be pursued in the right way. In the fulfilment of that desire lies all our happiness.The Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus reminds us of the fact that God created man in His own image and likeness. That divine likeness, lost by sin, can be restored by grace. The choice is ours. To grow in grace, to increase in our likeness to God – to become God by participation, as theologians express it - is at once the final end of the Holy Face Devotion and our only means of practising it.33 promises relating to this Devotion have been gathered from various reliable sources. In this book, each promise is examined in the light of sound Catholic teaching. Practical reflections for daily life are based on this solid doctrinal foundation and are likely to benefit any soul who is in earnest about becoming the saint they are called to be. These promises, like the Holy Face of Jesus itself, are at once a revelation of God’s infinite love for mankind and an urgent plea to each individual to repay that love by corresponding with grace. This book is for everyone who is seeking peace on earth and happiness hereafter; for everyone who wants to become truly like God.You Shall Be Like God: 33 Promises of the Holy Face Devotion is an ideal companion for Beyond the Veil: the Holy Face Devotion in the Light of Sacred Scripture, also available on Amazon.
