Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
C. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
P. Because of Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
C. He grew up like a sapling before him, like a shoot from
the parched earth; There was in Him no stately bearing to
make us look at Him, no appearance that would attract us
to Him. He was spurned and avoided by men, a man of
suffering, accustomed to infirmity. One of those from
whom men hide their faces spurned, and we held Him in
no esteem (Isaiah 53:2-3).
Jesus: (C.) Know that whatever good you do to any soul, I
accept it as if you had done it to Me (1768).
S. Faustina: (P.) I am learning how to be good from Jesus,
from Him who is goodness itself, so that I may be called a
[child] of the heavenly Father (669). Great love can change
small things into great ones, and it is only love which lends
value to our actions (303).
All: Lord Jesus, my Master, grant that my eyes, my hands,
my lips and my heart may always be merciful. Transform
me into mercy.
C. You, who suffered wounds for us,
P. Christ Jesus, have mercy on us.
Sung Verse: Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live.
