On Being Veronica

Last night at Stations of the Cross, the story of Veronica caught my heart. I began to think about how much I would like to be Veronica to Christ. She plays a very small role in the events surrounding Christ's passion, yet her actions tell a big story of love.

How can I wipe the Lord's face, I wonder? How can I bring Him comfort?

He tells us when we care for those He loves (which is all of humanity), we are caring for Him. He desires our fellowship, our love and our time. When my face is turned toward Him, I imagine He is pleased and satisfied.

I pray that through God's grace, every action will be done with love for Christ as its beginning and end. May the comfort of my Lord always be my goal.

How awesome if all the world thought like you. Merci for putting this thought into my head; and making it NOT ... 'all about me'. Some folks think neighbor ... is the family next door ... and that is all.
WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE,
OUTSHINES THE LOVE OF POWER,
OUR WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE ... AND PEACE WILL REIGN.
