Oil Dedicated to Blessed Veronica of Milan

Model of Humility, Hidden Holiness, and Silent Sacrifice

Blessed Veronica of Milan, born in 1445, lived a life of quiet humility and radiant holiness. From a young age, Veronica felt drawn to a life wholly dedicated to Christ. She joined the Order of St. Augustine at the monastery of St. Martha in Milan, where she lived in obscurity, away from worldly attention. In her hidden life, she discovered the profound joy of union with God through prayer, penance, and charity.

Though outwardly simple and unnoticed by the world, Veronica’s soul burned with love for Christ. She practiced deep contemplation, lifting her heart in constant prayer and offering her life as a sacrifice for sinners. She endured physical illness and spiritual dryness with patience, uniting her sufferings to the Cross of Christ. Despite her frailty, she radiated peace and kindness to her fellow sisters, becoming a quiet source of encouragement and comfort within the cloister.

Veronica’s holiness did not come from extraordinary public works but from the faithful offering of her daily struggles, prayers, and acts of love. God rewarded her hidden faithfulness with spiritual graces, including mystical experiences and deep interior peace. After her death in 1497, her sanctity became known to many, and she was venerated as a shining example of humility and silent sanctity.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to Blessed Veronica of Milan (Virgin) is prayerfully prepared in her spirit of hidden devotion and selfless love. Each bottle comes with a prayer card asking for her intercession—for those who suffer quietly, for those seeking God in silence, and for anyone longing for peace in their daily struggles.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. Offer a gentle spiritual reminder that God sees and treasures the quiet sacrifices of our hearts.

May the life of Blessed Veronica of Milan inspire you to embrace your own hidden path to holiness, to offer your joys and sorrows for love of God, and to find peace in the quiet places where He speaks most tenderly to the soul.
