Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ... his death there sprung up from the place where he was buried a tree, on whose leaves were written these ■words: Hail Mary, full of grace: "Ave Maria, gratia plena."* 22.--Three devout virgins, by the advice of tncir confessor, recited one year, for forty days, the whole Rosary, as a preparation for the feast of the purification of Mary. On the vigil the divine mother appeared to the first of the three sisters with a rich garment, embroidered with gold, thanked her, and blessed her. Then she appeared to the second with a simple garment, and also thanked her. But she said to her: "Oh Lady, why have you brought my sister a richei garment?" "Because she has clothed me," said Mary, "more richly than you have done." She afterwards appeared to the third with a canvas garment, and she at once asked pardon for her tepidity in honoring her. The next year all three fervently prepared for the same feast, saying the Rosary with great devotion, when behold, on the evening preceding the festival, Mary appeared to them in glory, and said to them: "Be prepared, for to-morrow you shall come to paradise." And, in fact, the next day they went to church, related to the confessor what had occurred, and received communion in the morning. At the hour of complin they saw again the most holy Virgin, who came to take them with her, and amid the songs of angels, one after the other sweetly expired.f - Ap.
