We adore thee, O Christ, and we praise thee.
Because by thy holy Cross, thou hast redeemed the world

Reading
Jesus said: "Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me;
and those who welcome me, welcome the one who sent me.
If anyone gives so much as a cup of cold water to one of
these little ones because he is a disciple, then I tell you solemnly,
he will most certainly not lose his reward. - Matthew 10. 40,42

Meditation
A woman named Veronica showed an act of kindness on the Way of the Cross
by wiping the Face of Jesus with a towel. Such a simple act!
By Your meeting with Veronica, Lord, help us to value even the small things,
which become great when given in Your name.

Lord, have mercy.    Christ, have mercy.    Lord, have mercy.
