Our Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, hear our prayer:

Please weave the women of St. Raphael into a beautiful tapestry of faith and friendship. Let us be woven by your Holy Spirit with our eyes and hearts set upon Christ our Savior. Help us shine with the light of Christ and draw souls to Jesus. We ask this in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen.

Via Crucis - the Sixth Station

Posted by our anonymous poet




Sixth Station - Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Unspeakable injustice… still my Lord walks The Way,


As loving disciples, with heavy-hearts and tears they pray.

With deep compassion Veronica wipes His pitied face,

Insulting spit, wrongful blood, horrid mistake to erase.

On her veil, an image appears of His Sacred Face,


The agony and suffering to remember and embrace.


This icon- a gift, for charity and for all to proclaim,

To always love for Love’s sake and praise His holy name.

So I commit to see my God in the wounded everywhere,

Who silently or unwittingly beg for love, hope, or prayer.
