Saint Veronica Garfield

After wiping the sweat from a lasagna, His image appeared on the cloth. Just taking a spin on saint veronica, silly style.

To absolutely no one’s surprise, I’m gonna propose Cersei join Tyrion and Ned as antitypes of Christ - the Walk of Shame being a mirror of the Stations of the Cross. Two people experience an intense public humiliation, forced to walk from point A to point B (point B for Christ being His place of execution, for Cersei being safety and freedom until her trial). Both people are stripped of their garments; Cersei before the walk, Christ afterwards. Ser Kevin is not there to witness his niece’s sexual humiliation and extreme vulnerability, Mary is present to witness her Son’s. Speaking of which: Christ has friends interspersed throughout His walk. Women mourn over him, and an extra-Biblical tradition says a woman helps clean his face; for Cersei, women call her whore, harlot, and many other names, a man throws a piece of meat that smears her body in grease and blood, and another man exposes himself to her to further humiliate her as people make lewd and obscene comments about her body. Christ is innocent; He asks His Father to forgive those who humiliate and execute Him. Cersei is guilty; she fantasizes about her brother carving the eyes out of onlookers, and hopes she will one day tear the tongues out off the septas complicit in this disgusting spectacle. Someone is pressed into service to help Christ carry His Cross; Christ accepts this help without (recorded) comment. A knight tries to help lead Cersei through a dangerous crowd; she lashes out at him. There was a brief second, when Cersei fell for the third time, where I thought that George R.R. Martin was using his lapsed Catholic upbringing in a way that was incredibly on the nose; but Cersei falls a fourth time ten yards further, breaking the perfect parallelism but nonetheless invoking the same kind of imagery.

Like many people, I need food.

One can try to emulate Saint Veronica and only eat a bowl of vegetable soup and 2 ounces of fruit a day like she did in her later years --- a gluttonous feast compared to her earlier diet of spiders and cat vomit.

Saint Veronica, patron saint of army photographers, is mistakenly credited for the Shroud of Turin --- but seems to have genuinely had the idea for custom T-shirts long before the invention of the mall.

Jesus is credited with creating his own miraculous death shroud portrait, most likely with Jewish space lasers --- while Saint Veronica is said to have wiped the sweat from Christ's brow with her veil as he carried the cross to Calvary and, miraculously, an image of Christ's face became emblazoned on the cloth.

Healing the sick, curing blindness, walking on water, and life after death are common wonder-working --- but the supernatural appearance of a silk-screened design on an ancient hair scrunchy is pretty difficult to accept.

In India, Prahlad Jani (Mataji) was revered for living his entire life without a single mouthful of food. Apparently, air wasn't quite enough, and he died in the mid-80's.

I recently saw a television interview with a "Breatharian," a man who claimed to get all the nutrients he needed from breathing magnetized air particles properly. It was all about the proper utilization of breath. He was reportedly caught backstage after the show in the green room properly utilizing his breath to inhale a tuna sub.

Reflections on Saint Veronica

𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘!

The saints are one aspect of Catholism that I decided to keep within my practice. Many may stay away from the saints and other Catholic figures, but I do wish to highlight some of the saints that I incorporate into my practice. This is my way of venerating them.

At the very least I hope these posts can be of some use to someone, or maybe it’s just interesting to learn about them.

St. Veronica is well known as the saint that wiped Jesus’s face on his way to his death on Calvary. She is not mentioned in the Bible anywhere, however she is found within Catholic traditions in the sixth Station of the Cross. St. Veronica was just a bystander who was compassionate enough to offer Jesus her veil to wipe his face. As a result, the image of Jesus Christ was imprinted onto the cloth. This cloth may or may not still be around today. Depends on what you believe, to be quite honest.

This is the only story about St. Veronica. The church does not know when she was born or when she died. Her entire life story has been lost to time and yet she is still a fairly popular saint in the Catholic traditions.

__________________________

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧?

St. Veronica is the patron saint of laundry workers and photographers because of her story. So if you’re interested in photography, then St. Veronica is the saint that you should turn to. Or if you work with clothing in any capacity, I would say that you could venerate her as well.

However I would also like to add on the idea that you can venerate her for help with compassion, especially towards strangers. St. Veronica did not know Jesus. She was just there to witness him walk towards Calvary for his crucifixion. Because her story has been lost to history, we have no way of knowing whether she knew of Jesus before his death. And yet this complete stranger came forward to offer aid to Jesus.

Feast days: July 12, the day before Ash Wednesday

Venerate

1. to regard with reverentual respect or with admiring deference

2. To honor (as an icon or a relic) with a reitual act of devotion

Keeping a medallion or prayer card for St. Veronica is a great way to venerate her. Prayer is another big thing. Keep her feast days in mind and send up a prayer on those days. Or maybe there’s a church near you named after St. Veronica, go there if you are comfortable. As the saint mentioned in the sixth Station of the Cross, you can either recite the Stations of the Cross at home or go to one held in a church.

The saints don’t need big gestures. I have a simple medallion for St. Veronica on my necklace that I typically wear around. To me this is enough. Of course I have also decided to be named after her for my confirmation, but you don’t have to go to these lengths to honor a saint. As I have mentioned a medallion or a statue, even just a picture is enough.

__________________________

𝙋𝙧𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧

To be quite honest, this was the only prayer that I found directly praying to St. Veronica. Many prayers in her name tend to be to the image of Jesus on her cloth.

O My Jesus, Saint Veronica served You on the way to Calvary by wiping Your beloved face with a towel on which Your sacred image then appeared. She protected this treasure, and whenever people touched it, they were miraculously healed. I ask her to pray for the growth of my ability to see Your sacred image in others, to recognize their hurts, to stop and join them on their difficult journeys, and to feel the same compassion for them as she did for You. Show me how to wipe their faces, serve their needs, and heal their wounds, reminding me that as I do this for them, I also do this for You. Saint Veronica, pray for me. Amen

Saint Veronica Giuliani

1660-1727

Feast day: July 9

Saint Veronica, an Italian Capuchin Poor Clare, whose baptismal name was Ursula, is one of the greatest mystics in the Church. Her life was one of the cross and pain, uniting her sufferings with Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection, eventually receiving the stigmata. In her Diary of 22,000 pages, we learn of her ecstatic visions of Jesus, saints, souls in purgatory and of the devil. St. Veronica was devoted to the Eucharist and Sacred Heart, trusting God totally, abandoning herself completely to His will. Her heart is incorrupt to this day.

The fact that these two have white hair makes me think that (their father) Count De Sade also has white hair…which would mean Teacher just has a habit of picking up (& adopting?) white-haired children.

Like…. What is the purpose, you blonde hoe.

It is giving Jack Vessalius vibes (manipulating vulnerable children into doing your bidding)

(And why does he only have one fit 👎)
