Day 27: St. Veronica, patroness of Laundry Workers and Photographers






We all like to take pictures, and we all have to undergo the chore of laundry, so in whichever situation you may be in, St. Veronica is the saint for everyone!

Lived From ?
Hometown: ?


Feast Day: July 12th

Veronica's only actual scene in the gospel is on the way of the cross, when Veronica wiped the face of the suffering Jesus with her own veil as he walked on the road towards Calvary.  That veil was imprinted with the face of Christ. Some also say that she was the woman with a blood condition whom Jesus healed in the gospel of Matthew.  For more information:

St. Veronica, you had the humility and wisdom to see the need of Christ on the way to the cross.  Help us to see the needs of Christ in others around us, and do what we can with our own gifts to fulfill those needs, no matter how big or small.  Thank you for your example for us, Veronica.
