Station VI — Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

V). Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi.

R). Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider how the holy woman Veronica, seeing Jesus so distressed and with his face bathed in sweat and blood, offered him a cloth, and as our Lord wiped his face he left upon it the imprint of his sacred image. — My dear Jesus, your face was once beautiful, but on this journey it no longer appears beautiful; rather, it is completely disfigured by wounds and blood. Alas, my soul also was once beautiful when it received your grace in Baptism, but I have disfigured it since then with my sins. You alone, my Redeemer, can restore its former beauty: do so by the merit of your Passion.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be. Dear Jesus, etc.
