Just let us know in "special instructions"Saint Veronica Giuliani, O.S.C. Cap., (Veronica de Julianis) (1660 July 9, 1727) was an Italian Capuchin nun and mystic. She was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI in 1839. In 1693 she entered upon a new phase in her spiritual life when she claimed to have had a vision of a chalice, symbolizing the Divine Passion which was to be re-enacted in her own soul. At first she shrank from accepting it and only by great effort eventually submitted. She then began to endure intense spiritual suffering. In 1694 she received the impression of the Crown of Thorns on her head, the wounds being visible[citation needed] and the pain permanent, and on Good Friday, 1697, she received the impression of Jesus' five wounds on her hands, feet and side. By order of the bishop she submitted to medical treatment, but obtained no relief from these wounds. Although she lived a supernaturally mystical life, she was a practical woman of affairs. For 34 years she was Mistress of novices, and guided the novices with great prudence. She would not allow them to read mystical books. In 1716, she was elected abbess and while holding that office enlarged the monastery and arranged for a good system of water-pipes to be installed; the monastery up to that time having been without a proper water supply. She died on July 9, 1727, at Citt di Castello.
