VI. Veronica Wipes Jesus' Face

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, teach me what it meant to have Veronica wipe your face with her veil:

To know the concern of someone who feels your agony.

To know her inability to offer much help--and her desperate need to try.

To be touched to the heart by her willingness to bare part of herself to offer you comfort.

To leave an image of yourself in her eyes as your gratitude.

Jesus, teach me what it means--

for Veronica to wipe my face.
