Sixth Station: Let us
meditate on St. Veronica wiping the face of Jesus with her veil.
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed
the world.
The Lord of Love Who carried
the Cross to the end for the conversion of sinners despite the blood and sweat,
that were flowing down continuously and were covering His eyes!
All of us have been called to
wipe away the Lord's blood and sweat and the Blessed Mother's tears of blood,
but instead we have been giving joy to the devil by hating and not forgiving
each other, filled with jealousy, envy, anger, and rage. How much grief
has this been causing to the Lord and the Blessed Mother!
Soldiers were whipping,
kicking, and spitting at Jesus, and the crowd was throwing rocks at Him, but
St. Veronica elbowed her way through them, with no concern of face-saving or
others' eyes, and wiped away the blood and sweat from the face of Jesus and the
blood from the wounds caused by the crown of thorns coagulated on Jesus' eyes
and blocking His view. Help us always remain awake so that we may become
the apostles of the Lord's Sacred Heart and the Blessed Mother's Immaculate
Heart who console Them like St. Veronica, not thinking about face-saving or
others' eyes but bravely displaying the power of love and offering up loyalty
heroically. (Meditate for a while.)
"If you know that I am
shedding Blood and sweat and bloody tears for you even at this moment, wipe
away My Blood and sweat with your life. This is the life of conversion."
(The Lord's message on May 27, 1992)
Amen.
Our Father, Hail
Mary, Glory be.
Mother, we ask you to
engrave the Lord's Wounds deeply into our hearts.
