Sixth Station: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus

Where do I see the face of the suffering Christ today? The very clothes and fabrics I that give me comfort are often the product of the labour and pain of others. I am often unaware of and careless of how much I rely on others in my daily life. I pause now, thinking of how I might offer help to those in need, to those who carry burdens greater than mine

Lord, Veronica shows us your face of suffering. Give me the insight to see your face in the poor and marginalised throughout the world. As I see pictures of healthy people, let me not forget the images I tend to ignore – images of loss, hunger, thirst and disease. Let me resolve to face up to the part I play in the pain of others
