6. The Sixth Station: Veronica offers her veil to Jesus 

Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?

We adore You/O Christ/and we praise You (Genuflect) Because/by Your holy cross/You have redeemed the word. (Rise)

Consider/ the compassion /of the holy woman/ veronica. / Seeing Jesus/ in such distress/ His face/ bathed in sweat /and blood /she presented Him /with her veil. / Jesus /wiped His face /and left upon the cloth /the image/ of his sacred /countenance./(Kneel)

Prayer:

My beloved Jesus/Your face was beautiful /before you began /this journey/but now /it no longer appears /beautiful /and is disfigured/ with wounds/ and blood. / Alas/my soul also /was once beautiful /when it received/ your grace /in Baptism. / But I have since/ disfigured it /with my sins./  You alone /my Redeemer/ can restore it /to its former beauty.  /Do this /by the merits /of your passion./

I love you Jesus/my Love/above all things./I repent with my whole heart /for having offended you./Never permit me/to separate myself/from you again./Grant/that I may love you always/and then do with me/as You will./

Our Father in heaven/Holy be Your name/Your kingdom come/Your will be done/on earth/as it is in heaven/give us this day/our daily bread/and forgive us trespasses/as we forgive those/ who trespass against us/lead us not into temptation/but deliver us from evil/Amen.

Hail Mary/full of grace/the Lord is with you/blessed are you/among women/and blessed is /the fruit of your womb/Jesus/ Holy Mary/Mother of God/pray for us sinners/now/ and at the hour/ of our death/Amen.

Glory be to the Father/and to the Son/and to the Holy Spirit/ As it was in the beginning/is now and ever/shall be world without end/Amen.

Have Mercy on us/O Lord/have mercy on us/.
