The Way of the Cross
STATION 6: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You (or: We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.)
BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
A Reading from the Gospel According to Matthew
(Matthew 25: 37-40)
Then the righteous will say to him, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and give you something to eat, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison and come to visit you?” And the King will answer, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brethren of mine, you did for me.”

V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.
