MARIA BERNARDA, VIRGIN AND ABBESS
Maria Bernarda, was the second abbess of Saint Nicolas de Verneuil in the bishopric of Evreux. A picture of innocence, she ruled with gentleness and holy love, presiding over her family more by example than by command. Maria Bernarda held the position of abbess from 1670 until her holy death on April 11, 1704. (Gal. Chr. XI 660).
