Prayer to St. Veronica
O 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.
About the Saint
St. Veronica
St. Veronica is remembered in Catholic tradition as the compassionate woman who stepped forward on the road to Calvary to wipe the face of Jesus. Her act of mercy is represented in the Sixth Station of the Cross and remains a moving symbol of courage and compassion.
Tradition also connects her name with the “true image” of Christ. For many Catholics, St. Veronica stands as a reminder to recognize Christ in those who suffer and to respond with kindness, presence, and practical love.
A Personal Note
From Shawn Kilgarlin
St. Veronica is one of my favorite figures in the Passion because she simply stepped forward in compassion. As a mental health clinician, I often meet people who carry heavy burdens, and many times what they need most is presence, care, and mercy.
That spirit is part of the mission behind every ShopCatholic prayer card. Each purchase also supports acts of giving, including Christmas gifts for those in need through Holy Angels and continued support for people in addiction recovery. Thank you for being part of that mission.
