Sixth Station

Veronica Wipes 

the Face of Jesus

 

 

 

 

 

Reflection

She steps forward to gently press her veil to the bleeding face of Christ, the convicted criminal.  She puts her whole life at the risk of dying.  But Veronica did become true image of the peoples who are not intimidated in the face of abuse, prejudice, and suffering.  She sees dignity even in the disfigured face of this condemned criminal.  In the faces of the poor, the ugly, and the disfigured, Veronica sees the true image of God.

Prayer - Ever-loving God, we feel your love and understanding in the care, consolation and support we receive from one another. Through Veronica, help us see God’s face in those the world rejects. Give us, we ask You, the courage and dedication to suffer with those who are in need, the least of your people. Amen.
