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 book, let Bl. Veronica’s visions guide you to a deeper understanding and love of Our Lord.
