Veronica Giuliani (12/27/1660 – 7/9/1727) was a Roman Catholic nun, born and raised in Italy, where she also conducted her ministry. During her time as a nun, she experienced a series of visions which she wrote down in a journal. Prior to entering the convent, her reading and writing skills were minimal, but the act of recording her experienced forced her to improve. Church authorities had doubts about the legitimacy of her experiences, and temporarily stripped her of her rank. She was also subjected to various humiliations during the process of interrogation, but was eventually fully restored. In 1839 she was officially designated as a saint, and the Catholic Church observes her feast day on July 9th.

As of this posting, and to the best of our knowledge, her full journal has not yet been published or translated into English.
