Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
   
V.  We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
R. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world
   
Leader: 

Consider how the holy woman, Veronica, seeing Jesus in such distress, with His face bathed with sweat and blood, offered Him a towel, and how, in drying Himself with it, our Lord left His sacred image impressed upon it.
All:

My beloved Jesus, your face was beautiful before; yet, on this journey it no longer appears beautiful but disfigured with wounds and blood.  Alas!  My soul also was once beautiful, when it received your grace in baptism, but I have since then disfigured it with my sins.  You alone, my Redeemer, can restore it to its former beauty.  Do this by your Passion!
