Station VI
Veronica Wipes The Face Of Jesus

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You because by Your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Look at Jesus
   Jesus is hot, tired, and sweating.  His hair is all tangled, and he is covered in dust from the long walk.

   Suddenly, a woman pushes her way out of the crowd and stands in front of Jesus.  She takes a clean cloth and gently wipes Jesus' face.  Jesus is so thankful that he leaves a picture of his face on her cloth.

Look at Your Heart
   Have you ever helped someone?  Have you ever done something that helped someone feel better?  Sometimes you may have done something that you thought was very small or unimportant: bringing a glass of water or juice to someone, or even giving someone a helping hand with a chore.  Maybe you just smiled at someone who looked sad!

   As you think of the times you helped, show Jesus your heart.  As you picture Jesus loving you, maybe you can also picture Jesus leaving a picture of his face on your heart.  What a wonderful heart you have!
