STATION 6:
VERONICA AIDS JESUS - COMPASSION
When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you? And the king will say to them in reply, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me. ~ Matthew 25:38-40
Jesus asks: “Can you look into the eyes of your sisters and brothers and see me staring back at you?”
We are told the question asked at the Last Judgment will be: “How did we serve those around us?” Are we anxious to help those in need, or do we stand back and hope someone else will do it?
