Prayer of Intercession to Saint Veronica Giuliani

Heavenly Father, Who in Saint Veronica, who was conformed to Your Son, You have given us a marvelous example of patience and of ardent charity. Give to us, through her powerful intercession, to discover the sweetness found in the Cross and the grace of confidence as we implore:

Pause here for the grace you are asking.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer of St. Veronica Giuliani

My God, I ask You for nothing other than the salvation of poor sinners. Convert them all to You, all of them to You. Set me as a go-between between You and sinners. Let torments come. Love will endure everything. Love has conquered, and Love Himself has been conquered. For the soul feels Him inside her in a manner I cannot describe.

Prayer to Saint Veronica Giuliani

Saint Veronica Giuliani, the stigmata you received and the subsequent denial of your duties as novice mistress in your abbess didn’t make you bitter but instead strengthened your faith in God, and your position was reinstated. May we, with your intercessions show this same dedication, even if our stigmata and sign of Jesus’ Cross is only visible to us on the inside.

Amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

St Veronica Giuliani, pray for us!

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
