“Long ago there was a man and his wife and she died and he had no money to get a mass said for her.”
Long ago there was a man and his wife and she died and he had no money to get a mass said for her.
She often appeared to him.
He told the priest and he said he would say a mass for her the following morning. No one knew that it was to be for her save the man and priest.
While the mass was being said the woman was on the altar.
The angels were heard singing and then they came down and took her up to heaven.
She never appeared any more.
