SIXTH STATION

Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

V. We adore Thee O Christ and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou
hast redeemed the world.

VERONICA, impelled by devotion and
compassion, presents her veil to Jesus to
wipe His disfigured face. And Jesus imprints on
it His holy countenance: a great recompense for
so small a service. What return do you make to
your Saviour for His great and manifold benefits?

Most merciful Jesus! What return shall I make
for all the benefits Thou has bestowed upon me?
Behold I consecrate myself entirely to Thy service.
I offer and consecrate to Thee my heart: imprint
on it Thy sacred image, never again to
be effaced by sin.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
 V. Have mercy on us, Lord.
R. Have mercy on us.
V. May the souls of the faithful
departed, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
R. Amen.
