Veronica wipes the Face of Jesus

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

As Jesus proceeds on the way, covered with the sweat of death, a woman, moved with compassion, makes her way through the crowd and wipes His face with a handkerchief: as a reward of her piety, the impression of His sacred countenance is miraculously imprinted on it.

Prayer.

O Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, may the contemplation of Thy Sufferings move us with the deepest compassion; make us to hate our sins, and kindle in our hearts more fervent love to Thee. May Thy image be graven on our minds, until we are transformed into Thy likeness.

An Act of Contrition.

O God, we love Thee with our whole hearts and above all things, and are heartily sorry that we have offended Thee. May we never offend Thee any more. Oh, may we love Thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things Thy most Holy Will.

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.

V. Blessed and praised every moment.
R. Be the Most Holy and Divine Sacrament.
V. Have mercy on us, O Lord.
R. Have mercy on us.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
