Relic Presentation and Reflections

A very thoughtful and engaging presentation for those who wish to learn about this Holy Devotion and show veneration to an actual Holy Face of Jesus Relic from the Vatican.

The relics of the Holy Face that Al Smith brings with him to events have been touched to Veronica’s Holy Veil, touched to the True Wood of the Cross, and touched to the Lance that pierced Christ’s side. These facts are verified by the wax Papal Seal and the Certificate of Authenticity commissioned by the Pope.

Al is a gifted speaker and has been featured on EWTN Radio and Television for many years.  He hosts a weekly radio show heard on the Radio Maria Family Network in Australia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada.  His presentations speak to various topics pertaining to the writings of the Saints and the history of the devotion to the Holy Face.

Presentation Highlights

Al Smith has several prepared talks that he can give at events.  Some of the titles of these talks are:

1.  Lord show us thy Face and we shall be saved.
2.  Behold your Mother.
3.  Lord Teach us to pray.
