ROME – A Vatican official and spokesman for St. Peter’s Basilica has said the ancient tradition of devotion to Veronica’s Veil and to the Holy Face of Jesus is a sign of hope and an invitation to return to the essentials in a world constantly connected and on the move.
“Ultimately Veronica’s gesture is a gesture of hope. Why? It makes us understand that man wants to support the other, that women want to support the other. This is hope,” Franciscan Father Enzo Fortunato told Crux.
