The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ

INTRODUCTION
99/134

I saw them also standing opposite the door of a house situated to the north of Mount Calvary, where the disciples of Jesus lodged the greatest part of the time, and which belonged to Seraphia (afterwards called Veronica).

Peter and John sent some disciples from thence to the supper-room, giving them several commissions, which I have forgotten.
They also went into Seraphia's house, where they had several arrangements to make.

Her husband, who was a member of the council, was usually absent and engaged in business; but even when he was at home she saw little of him.

She was a woman of about the age of the Blessed Virgin, and had long been connected with the Holy Family; for when the Child Jesus remained the three days in Jerusalem after the feast, she it was who supplied him with food.
The two Apostles took from thence, among other things, the chalice of which our Lord made use in the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
MEDITATION IV.
The Chalice used at the Last Supper The chalice which the Apostles brought from Veronica's house was wonderful and mysterious in its appearance.

It had been kept a long time in the Temple among other precious objects of great antiquity, the use and origin of which had been forgotten.
