- Profile
- Born to wealthy parents, Francesco Giuliana and Benedetta Mancini.
In her youth, Veronica developed a deep spirituality and desired nothing more than to dedicate her life to God.
Received visions as a child, and her first words were reported to be "Do justice, God sees you."
Veronica's father presented suitors in hopes that one would marry her; Veronica became ill at the idea of not devoting her life to God, and Veronica finally received her father's blessing.
Joined the Poor Clares on 17 July 1677 at age 17, receiving the veil on 28 October.
Soon after she began receiving visions of Christ accompanied by the pain of the wounds of the Passion.
Much skepticism of her stigmata, and many examinations, but it was never disproved; Veronica never tried to prove it, just submitted to the exams.
Novice mistress for over thirty years.
Abbess for more than a decade.
Author of the 10-volume Diary of the Passion which catalogues her religious experiences.
