Italian original Cite

Also known as: Italian: Febronia Barone

BARONE, VERONICA. - Mystic, b. at Vizzini (Catania) on 16 Dec. 1856, d. there in the odor of sanctity on 4 Jan. 1878.

At Baptism she received the name Febronia. In childhood she was miraculously cured of a malignant fever, after an apparition of St. Veronica Giuliani.

Her brief life was marked by many ecstasies with charisms. On 9 July 1871 she enrolled in the secular Third Order of St. Francis, taking the name Veronica and thereafter living as a religious in her own home, according to the custom of Sicily. Most painful temptations, infirmities and sorrows corresponded to the thirst for suffering that drove her to inflict harsh penances upon herself.
