Jesus states this directly in the Gospel of Matthew, where he pronounces that our Final Judgement will be based on whether we saw the hungry, the thirsty, the imprisoned, and the naked and acted with compassion. It is this compassion that Veronica is compelled by when she moves to wipe Jesus’ face.
Veronica was not just compassionate, though. She was attentively compassionate. It did not take theatrics or heroics for Veronica to receive Jesus’ miracle – only the awareness of the need for compassion and the compassionate action itself.
