Veronica

VERONICA

One of the most enduring stories of compassion is remembered through the story of Veronica.

According to Christian tradition, Veronica paused to comfort Jesus as he carried his cross, wiping his face with a piece of linen.

Tradition holds that an image of Christ’s face was left upon the cloth.

The gesture lasted only a moment.

Yet it has been remembered for centuries.

Not because it changed what happened, but because it reminds us that compassion is never wasted, even when it cannot change the outcome.
