Sixth Station of the Cross (Traditional)
|
Song of the Sorrowful Mother
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled, |
Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Lo, we have seen Him, and there is no beauty in Him, nor comeliness. He is despised and rejected, a man of sorrows, His face full of grief. He is worn out by suffering, like one in whose presence the people hide their faces. He is scorned and disdained. His appearance is that of one tortured beyond human endurance. And yet He is fairer than all the sons of men, and by His wounds we are healed.
Turn not Your face away from us, and withdraw not from Your servants in Your anger.
Let Us Pray
O God, renew us according to Your own image and likeness by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ your Son. Guide our footsteps in Your paths, that we may truly experience the gift of Your divine charity. This we ask through the same Christ our Lord. Amen!
