Station 6 Veronica Wipes the Face of
Jesus
Church
tradition tells us that a woman named Veronica offered her veil to Jesus so he could
wipe his face. He wiped his face and gave it back and she saved it with his
imprint to remember his suffering. A woman, unveiled, was shameful, but her
fear of shame left as her compassion for him outweighed social norm.
O Lord, would
I have been willing to risk my own shame and even my own death to offer
compassion to you? Let me remember that every suffering person I meet on the
road today is you. And let me offer aid.
