SIXTH STATION
Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
V/. Adorámus te, Christe, et benedícimus tibi. R/. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemísti mundum. |
V/. We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. R/. For by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. |
" ... I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visited
me, in prison and you came to see me. ... I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these
bothers of mine, you did it to me." [Matt 25:36, 40]] Spend a few moments in silent reflection: - Do I, like Veronica, put myself out to help those in need? - Do I really see Jesus in my fellow men and women, and so love them and want to help them? |

Amo te, o Jesu, mi Amor, magis quam meípsum, et ex íntimo corde pænitet me quod tibi displícui. Ne sinas me íterum a te separári. Da mihi perpétuum amórem tui, et dein fac de me quidquid tibi placúerit. |
I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always, then do with me what you will. |
Quis non posset contristári Matrem Christi contemplári doléntem cum filio? |
Can the human heart refrain from partaking in her pain, in that Mother's pain untold? |
