About this listen
While all saints are exceptional, St. Veronica Giuliani is a case apart. The sheer number of charisms she was graced with—which included raptures, locutions, visions, diabolical struggles, and the stigmata (to note a few)—are unparalleled even among the saints. Padre Pio himself, also a Capuchin, kept an icon of her in his cell, and considered her his patroness.
When she was seventeen, St. Veronica entered a Capuchin Poor Clare monastery. There, she longed to suffer more and more with Christ. During moments of rapture, she was given the carrying of the cross, the instruments of the Passion on her heart, to drink from the chalice of bitterness, the crowning of thorns, the transverberation of her heart, and the reception of the spousal ring. She received these mystically, though they manifested as physical wounds on her body. The climax took place in 1697, when Veronica received the stigmata—the wounds of Christ—on her hands, feet, and side.
For over thirty years, St. Veronica Giuliani meticulously recorded her life story and extraordinary spiritual experiences. Three months before she died, she had filled 11,000 pages. In her Diary, at times, she comes across as the novice mistress or abbess guiding the sisters. Other times, she reveals messages given to her by Christ. In other entries, she graphically describes the mystical sufferings she endured.
In her life and Diary, ultimately what is revealed is the beauty of the Gospel and a woman madly in love with God—“set on fire,” in her words. Before she died, she told her sisters to tell everyone that “Love has been found.” This is the message of St. Veronica Giuliani that informs her writing.
May the fiery love that St. Veronica Giuliani found illuminate your heart as you begin reading her Diary.
Statements made by Popes, Cardinals, and Theologians:
“St. Veronica Giuliani is not [just] a Saint, but a giant of Saintliness.” (Bl. Pope Pius IX)
“She is such a great luminary of Saintliness that in and of herself, she would be enough to illustrate the Church, in contempt of the mockery and slander of the most superb and biting philosophy of the unbelievers.” (Pope Pius VII)
“She was endowed with such extraordinary graces that only the Mother of God was more ornate.” (Pope Leo XIII)
“What the virgin Veronica wrote, certainly with the help of God, will be of great profit to those who study to acquire Christian perfection.” (St. Pope Pius X)
“St Veronica Giuliani invites us to develop, in our Christian life, our union with the Lord in living for others, abandoning ourselves to his will with complete and total trust, and the union with the Church, the Bride of Christ.” (Pope Benedict XVI)
“The extraordinary favors granted by God to Veronica were explained by her with that clarity and exactness of expression which render the Diary ‘one of the most classic treatises on sacred mysticism.’” (Card. Lucido M. Parocchi, Secretary of the Holy Office)
“The Diary is a catechesis, a doctorate, a permanent mission, which the Vatican II Church cannot and must not ignore, if it wants to unleash all its energies of renewal.” (Card. Pietro Palazzini)
“She is the most sublime and necessary subject of study that has been produced after the Gospel.” (M.F. Benjamin Dausse, Académie des Sciences, Paris)

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
The book of Enoch was thought to be lost for over 2,000 years until, in 1773, a traveller brought three copies back from Ethiopia. Whether or not this ancient book was actually authored by Enoch, the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah, is an ongoing debate among historians and theologians. But all recognise the book of Enoch as one of the most important apocalyptic works outside of the Bible.

The Diary is an amazing narrative that chronicles the experiences of a simple, uneducated Polish nun who received a special call shortly before the outbreak of World War II. Our Lord appeared to her and instructed her to spread the message of his Divine Mercy to all, especially in our current age, which is full of so much distress and worldliness. The message of the Divine Mercy is that God loves us all of us. And He wants us to recognize that his mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon him with trust, receive his mercy, and let it flow through us to others.

Padre Pio was born in a rural, farming village. He entered a Franciscan order centered on harsh penance and radical poverty. He lived more than fifty years in a mountain hermitage.

In his latest work, Bret Thoman has pierced the life of Padre Pio in a novel way: through a pilgrimage to all eleven Capuchin friaries and sites where the stigmatic saint lived. With Pietrelcina as his base, Thoman sets out each morning to the "Convents of Padre Pio." He accompanies the reader into these special places with captivating ...

Adolfo Affatato is one of the last living spiritual sons of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. Recently translated into English, “Padre Pio and I” is the culmination of what he witnessed as he sat by the saint’s side for sixteen years. This is not a typical biography by a journalist, friar, or academic; instead, the author presents “the Padre” intimately and personally -- as a father figure who tenderly guided and directed him. This book is filled with riveting new accounts of the mystical side of Padre Pio: from the moment Affatato was called by name by Padre Pio out of a crowd to Padre ...

Fr. Gabriele Amorth is known for his courageous, decades-long work in the field of exorcism. But before being named the official exorcist of Rome, he was a Mariologist—a scholar specialized in the study of Mary. He spent years delving into biblical texts, Church traditions, and theological writings related to the Mother of God. The result is a deep understanding of Mary’s vital role not just in the early Christian Church but throughout the history of Christianity including in our own era. This concise book is designed to be used as a month-long spiritual exercise devoted to Mary. ...

Story
Fr. Gabriele Amorth (1925-2016) is known primarily for his tireless work as the official exorcist of Rome. But he was also a journalist, noted theologian, and biblical scholar. In this book, one of five he wrote about Mary, he retraces the life of the Virgin Mary. Drawing on the Gospels, Catholic Tradition, conciliar documents, and papal teachings, Fr. Amorth accompanies the reader on a veritable Marian itinerary. Divided into thirty-one chapters, one for each day of the month, the author breaks open the Gospels, particularly Matthew and Luke.
