Moved by compassion, Veronica presents her veil to Jesus, to wipe His disfigured face. He imprints on it His holy countenance, and returns it to her as a recompense. Shall Christ reward you in like manner? Then you too must do Him a service. But you do a service to Christ every time you perform a work of mercy towards your neighbor: for He says: "What you have done to the least of My brethren, you have done to Me."

Dearest Jesus,  what return shall I make Thee for all Thy benefits?  Behold, I consecrate myself entirely to Thy service.  My whole heart I give to Thee;  stamp on it Thy holy image,  that I may never forget Thee.
