Mother Mary Veronica, a Colettine Poor Clare, came to America to help begin the Poor Clare life here.  One of the sisters who lived with her testified:
 “Rarely did she speak to her subjects without saying something of God and divine things,  so accustomed was she to refer all things to Him. The  slightest acquaintance with her sufficed to convince one,  that her habitual practice of the presence of God was the  source from which flowed that silent joy and gentle patience which never left her. Never did a cloud darken the  mild sunshine of her face; no haste, no fear and even no  exaggerated zeal ever disturbed her peace.”
