Sixth Station
Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
V.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Moved by compassion, Veronica presents her veil to Jesus, to wipe His
disfigured face. He imprints on it His holy countenance, and returns it to
her as a recompense. Shall Christ reward you in like manner? Then you too
must do Him a service. But you do a service to Christ every time you
perform a work of mercy towards your neighbour: for He says: “What you have
done to the least of My brethren, you have done to Me.”
Dearest Jesus, * what return shall I make Thee for all Thy benefits? *
Behold, I consecrate myself entirely to Thy service. * My whole heart I give
to Thee; * stamp on it Thy holy image, * that I may never forget Thee.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V. Lord Jesus, crucified.
R. Have mercy on us.
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.
