Spiritual Inspiration
St. Longinus and the Holy Lance!
St. Longinus was the Roman Centurion who pierced Jesus side. The gospel of John says that "blood and water" gushed from the wound. The blood represents Jesus' sacrifice at Calvary as the Lamb of God. The water represents the new birth of baptism. It was Longinus who said: "Surely this man was the Son of God!" St. Longinus quit the Roman Army and became a disciple of God.
Jesus's Five Holy Wounds
The Church honors the five sacred wounds endured by our Savior at Calvary. The nail holes in both hands, and both feet were completed with the wound to his torso made by Longinus. The side wound is the wound that St. Thomas demanded to examine before he would believe in the Resurrection. The wound was a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, as Zechariah wrote "They will look on the one they have pierced." (Zechariah 12:10).
Jesus Said from the Cross "It is finished." (John 19:30)
Jesus, the Lamb of God, was the perfect sacrifice, by which God offers unconditional love to humanity! St. John wrote "There is no greater love than this--that a man should lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)
Devotion to the Holy Lance and St. Longinus
Meditating on the wounds of Christ and the conversion of St. Longinus to Christianity allows believers to connect deeply with Christ's sacrifice.
Detrich's Tribute to the Holy Lance
While in the presence of the Holy Lance, Detrich memorized the unique features of the Holy Lance, including the leafing or "ribbing" by which blood would fall from the spear instead of falling back on Longinus. Using bronze and solid gold to represent the blood of Jesus, Detrich made twenty replicas of the Holy Lance to inspire others.
Is Cloning Jesus of Nazareth Possible? What about the Shroud of Turin.
When Alan Detrich's life was changed by the Holy Lance n 1991, he never dreamed that one day modern DNA science could possibly be used to clone Jesus of Nazareth. Detrich personally inspected the Shroud of Turin in Italy and concluded that it is a medieval fake. The dried blood on the Holy Lance is the only possible source for cloning Jesus!
