SUMMARY:Saint Veronica Giuliani
DESCRIPTION:Saint Veronica Giuliani\nSaint of the Day for July 10\n(December 27\, 1660 – July 9\, 1727)\nhttps://www.franciscanmedia.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/SODJul10.mp3\nSaint Veronica Giuliani’s Story\nVeronica’s desire to be like Christ crucified was answered with the stigmata. \nVeronica was born in Mercatelli\, Italy. It is said that when her mother Benedetta was dying she called her five daughters to her bedside and entrusted each of them to one of the five wounds of Jesus. Veronica was entrusted to the wound below Christ’s heart. \nAt the age of 17\, Veronica joined the Poor Clares directed by the Capuchins. Her father had wanted her to marry\, but she convinced him to allow her to become a nun. In her first years in the monastery\, she worked in the kitchen\, infirmary\, sacristy\, and also served as portress. At the age of 34\, she was made novice mistress\, a position she held for 22 years. When she was 37\, Veronica received the stigmata. Life was not the same after that. \nChurch authorities in Rome wanted to test Veronica’s authenticity and so conducted an investigation. She lost the office of novice mistress temporarily and was not allowed to attend Mass except on Sundays or holy days. Through all of this Veronica did not become bitter\, and the investigation eventually restored her as novice mistress. \nThough she protested against it\, at the age of 56 she was elected abbess\, an office she held for 11 years until her death. Veronica was very devoted to the Eucharist and to the Sacred Heart. She offered her sufferings for the missions\, died in 1727\, and was canonized in 1839. \n\nReflection\nWhy did God grant the stigmata to Francis of Assisi and to Veronica Giuliani? God alone knows the deepest reasons\, but as Celano points out\, the external sign of the cross is a confirmation of these saints’ commitment to the cross in their lives. The stigmata that appeared in Veronica’s flesh had taken root in her heart many years before. It was a fitting conclusion for her love of God and her charity toward her sisters. \n\nThe Liturgical Feast of Saint Veronica Giuliani is July 9.
