“I received great effects from the protection of the Holy Virgin. On the day of her triumphant Assumption, she showed me a crown that she had made for herself from all her holy daughters who were following her; that she wanted to appear with this ornament before the Holy Trinity. But she told me that she had been very sad because, wanting to separate herself from the earth, these flowers with which her head had been adorned had become attached to it; that only fifteen remained, five of which were received as spouses of her Son, showing me, by this, how important it is that a religious soul be detached from everything and from itself, to make its conversation be in heaven.”
