Sixth Station
Veronica Wipes The Face Of Jesus
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, proceeding on His way, is covered with sweat and blood. His face,
once beautiful, has now lost all its beauty. It is disfigured by wounds and
blood. A holy woman named Veronica, moved with compassion, approaches and
wipes His face with her veil. Jesus, as a reward for her piety, leaves the
impression of His Sacred Countenance imprinted upon it.
My Jesus, at my Baptism my soul was also beautiful, but my sins have since
disfigured it. By Your Passion, O Jesus, restore it to its former beauty.
May the contemplation of Your sufferings move me with the greatest
compassion, make me hate my sins, and kindle in my heart a more fervent
love for You. Imprint Your image in my mind so that I may never forget what
my sins have done to You. Guide me, that I may one day be transformed into
Your likeness.
My beloved Jesus, I love You above all things. I am truly sorry for having
offended You, and I repent with my whole heart. May I never offend You
again. Grant that I may never cease to love You, and do with me as You
will.
Our Father...
Hail, Mary...
Glory be...
