US Council of Catholic Bishops statement on the Eucharist "Happy are those who are called to His Supper: PDF file

 2 Peter 1:5-7 Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. - "Whenever we find ourselves bombarded with accusations over past sins, with demeaning reminders of our weakness, unworthiness, or uselessness, we can turn to the blood of Jesus for protection and Satan must flee! His temptations, his accusations lose their grip, and we are restored to the truth once more of who we are in Christ. Deliverance is ours, even as Jesus rejoices over us all because we have called upon the power of his blood!" (from the Word Among Us)

SIXTH STATION

Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

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

Consider that the holy woman named Veronica, seeing Jesus so afflicted, and His face bathed in sweat and blood, presented Him with a towel with which He wiped His adorable face, leaving on it the impression of His holy countenance.

My most beloved Jesus, Thy face was beautiful before, but in this journey it has lost all its beauty, and wounds and blood have disfigured it. Alas! my soul also was once beautiful, when it received Thy grace in Baptism; but I have disfigured it since by my sins. Thou alone, my Redeemer, canst restore it to its former beauty. Do this by Thy Passion, O Jesus. I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always, and then do with me what Thou wilt.

 

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.
