Imitating Christ In Daily Life

Lord….When Did We … Come to You? The Sixth Station – Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

The Sixth Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Scripture: “Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You; or thirsty, and giveShroudFace-Veronica 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)

From The Imitation of Christ, Book 4, Ch 4: Many Good Gifts are Bestowed on Those Who Communicate Devoutly

Veronica2I indeed labor in the sweat of My face, I Am tormented with sorrow of heart, I am burdened with sins, I Am disquieted with temptations, I Am entangled and oppressed with many passions, and there is none to help Me, there is none to deliver and ease Me, but You, O Lord God, my Savior, to whom I commit Myself and all things that are Mine, that You may preserve Me and lead Me to eternal life.

Prayer: Receive me to the praise and glory of Your name, O Lord, who has prepared Your Body and Blood to be my meat and drink. Grant, O Lord God my Savior, that with coming often to Your mysteries the zeal of my devotion may increase.
