A close-up of the crucifix at St. Francis of Assisi Church

Thanksgiving Mass 2021

When I saw this photo I felt that Jesus was bringing my attention to the shadows on his body and the cross which appear exaggerated in this photo.  More specifically, I speak of the shadow on the right side of his face and the darkness that appears around his arms and his body, especially on his right side at his feet, but especially his head and neck. 

When I took this photo before the Thanksgiving Mass started, I remember thinking about, very intensely, with much gratitude and gratefulness for my own life and his endless mercy in saving me, his immense and loving sacrifice of his life for us. 

The view of the crucifix is especially beautiful from St. Joseph's chapel and the East side of the church as it offers a direct view of Jesus on the cross and especially of his face. 

... and a few days later, I am sitting in church and looking at the crucifix and Jesus shows me a very large spirit, blacker than black, shredded on the edges, hovering about the crucifix on Jesus's left side, but not touching it. As I watch it moves around Jesus on the crucifix, hovering and moving. I think it realizes that I can see it and it moves behind the light fixture so that it is hidden for the most part from my view. I can only see the edges of its form. The word that comes to my mind is "wraith" and it looks like the Nazgul things in the "Lord of the Rings" movie. As I read up on wraiths after I get home, Jesus shows me a place as I am reading where it talks about them being soulless and connected to anger and despair, thus connected very much to depression. 

The darkness that is exaggerated on the right side of the Lord's face, the brow, about the arms, shoulders and back is meant to show the areas of the body that are affected by this particular entity, as different entities, demons and other spirits can affect different parts of the body, depending upon what is held in the body in a negative way. 

Our "sins" and other wounds, traumas, vices, etc. can appear in the energetic field of our bodies as dark energies and it is love which helps us to heal these things. God can heal them all, and we all have sins. 

 It is a very, very dark spirit and it hovers about the church now, hiding behind the light
