Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
A meditation and prayer on the sixth Station of the Cross.
Meditation: Veronica, stepping forward with a simple cloth to wipe the face of Jesus, shows us the power of small acts of kindness. In her act, we are reminded that no gesture of love, no matter how small, is ever wasted in the kingdom of God. Reflect on the small acts of kindness you've experienced or can offer, and their impact in the light of God's love.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, in the compassion of Veronica, who dared to offer comfort on Your path to Calvary, we find inspiration to act with kindness and courage. Inspire us to never underestimate the power of small acts of love. Help us to be attentive to the needs of those around us, to offer comfort and aid even when it seems we have little to give. May our lives show forth Your love, shining brightly in a world in need of compassion. Grant us the courage to step forward, as Veronica did, to make a difference in the lives of others, knowing that in serving them, we serve You. In Your name, we pray, Amen.
