We remember the woman we call Saint Veronica every time we participate in the Stations of the Cross: a woman steps forward to 
provide relief to Christ by wiping the blood and sweat from his face with her veil. We’re not sure if this event happened… or, if it did, what happened to Veronica or the veil.
I chose to talk about Veronica today, because I’m contemplating what the day after the crucifixion would have been like for such a woman. Was she profoundly moved, unable to forget the sight of Jesus’s suffering? Would she have visited the tomb? Would she have discussed the experience with others in her community? Or would she have gone about her everyday life and Passover 
observations?
How will you spend the daylight hours of Holy Saturday? How can you be present to what has happened to Jesus in the way you interact with others?
