- Bruna dedicated her entire life to the care of the ill working in hospitals in Zaragoza and during times of war risked her life to aid others.
- Internal complications and a range of outside interferences saw Bruna be appointed to and resign from various leadership positions and she was captured - though later released - during the Carlist War.Bruna was considered a saint after her death which led to the commencement of her canonization cause under Pope Pius XI on 6 August 1931 while being titled as Venerable under Pope John Paul II in 1991 who also beatified her on 16 October 1994 at Saint Peter's Square.
