The Sixth Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

The Sixth Station

Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (genuflect)

Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Reflection:
"Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You; or thirsty, and give You drink? And when did we
see You a stranger, and take You in; or naked, and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in
prison, and come to You?" And answering the King will say to them, "Amen, I say to you, as long as
you did it for one of these, the least of My brethren, you did it for Me." (Mt. 25:37- 40)

Meditation:
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter;
He who finds one finds a treasure.
A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth.
A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds;
For he who fears God behaves accordingly,
And his friend will be like himself. (Sir 6:14-17)

Pray:
Almighty and ever-loving God, we feel Your love and understanding in the consolation and support we

receive from one another. Give us, we beg You, the courage and dedication to sacrifice and suffer with those who are in need, the least of your people. Amen.

Sing (in preparation for the Seventh Station):
Prostrate on the dust He crumbled,
Flogged in Body He resembled
All our brothers poor and scorned
