Blessed Veronica of Milan (1445–1497) was a most humble and devout lay sister in the Augustinian Order. Despite her lowly position within the order and the fact that she was nearly illiterate, Bl. Veronica maintained an inspiring disposition of joy, humility, and piety. Offered in English for the first time, The Life of Christ Revealed contains her many detailed visions of Our Lord.
Blessed Veronica’s visions faithfully reflect the accounts of the life of Our Lord found in the Gospels. Yet in many cases, they add beautiful and touching details of color, imagery, and emotion. These details fill out many of the basic Gospel narratives, and they often harmonize the accounts of the different Evangelists.
Within these pages, readers will encounter a multitude of striking and fascinating descriptions, including details of the arduous journey of the Holy Family to Egypt, and their encounters with gangs of bandits along the way; a description of the food, costumes, and even dancing at the wedding feast at Cana; and many of the private thoughts and feelings of both Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The passion of Christ in particular is described in a most heartrending and poignant manner. If you enjoy the writings of Bl. Anne Catherine Emmerich, you will surely find spiritual fruits in Bl. Veronica’s visions, which precede Emmerich’s by some 350 years. As you read this Christian book, let Bl. Veronica’s visions guide you to a deeper understanding and love of Our Lord.

Excellent little book
This short read is an excellent meditation with praying my rosary on the life of Christ. I have to get another many more so I can give as gifts. I gave it to my Pastor and he loved it!

Blessed Veronica of Milan
Beautiful witnessed account of the Life of our Beloved Lord, Jesus Christ . Wish she had been permitted to reveal other details. If she couldn’t read or write , then who authored the account that was translated?

Fantastic Book
this is a truly beautiful little book that gives us quick insights into the life of Christ. I think it really accompanies the gospel as well, and it gives you short visions into different parts of the life of Jesus. Along with a powerful and beautiful prayer about the resurrection at the very end. Really really wonderful. You can carry it with you anywhere and it could lead to much deeper prayer, especially with the mysteries of the rosary.
