July 12 – Saint Veronica

Saint-Veronica.jpg

listenO My Jesus, Saint Veronica served You on the way to Calvary by wiping Your beloved face with a towel on which Your sacred image then appeared.  She protected this treasure, and whenever people touched it, they were miraculously healed.  I ask her to pray for the growth of my ability to see Your sacred image in others, to recognize their hurts, to stop and join them on their difficult journeys, and to feel the same compassion for them as she did for You.  Show me how to wipe their faces, serve their needs, and heal their wounds, reminding me that as I do this for them, I also do this for You.  Saint Veronica, pray for me.  Amen.



Quote for Today

Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

quoteLove is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but generous. It seeks not its own, but the good of others. The measure of love is not the pleasure it gives — that is the way the world judges it — but the joy and peace it can purchase for others.”


 

The prayer above is from Terry Modica’s book Daily Prayers with the Saints.
