Lourdes High Station 06

Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Is this the same Veronica that touched the
end of his tassel for a healing?

Would you step out in such a violent
scene and wipe Jesus's face?

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

This woman helps Jesus by wiping His face. What a privilege. Who is Veronica? Is she one of the women Jesus may have healed? 

My Jesus, Thy face was beautiful before; but wounds and blood have disfigured it. My soul was also once beautiful; but my sins have disfigured it. Restore it, my Redeemer, to its former beauty.
 The Way of the Cross of Saint Alphonsus Liquori

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

v. Have Mercy upon us O Lord.
r. Have Mercy on us.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Meditation:

As I sit and contemplate this station, I want to be Veronica. Just have a moment to comfort my Lord in His hour of need. Veronica had courage to bypass the soldiers to be near Our Lord. What is Jesus' teaching here, for me to see and learn. Compassion for another?
