Lord Jesus Christ, take me along that holy way you once took to your death, Take my mind, my memory, above all my reluctant heart, and let me see what you once did, for love of me and the world.

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.

Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

Sixth Station: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus

Without beauty, without majesty [we saw him], no looks to attract our eyes; a thing despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering, a man to make people screen their faces; he was despised and we took no account of him. – Isaiah 53:2-3
