- One time Our Lady and the Infant Jesus were on a journey and Herod's soldiers were following them. Our Lady kept on walking and walking until she grew very tired. When she looked around Her, She saw one of the soldiers behind Her. She told the Divine Infant and He looked out from under Her mantle, and the man fell down and died from the Blessed Sickness. This man's name was supposed to be Paul, and when we see anybody taking the Blessed Sickness we are supposed to say "May the Lord have mercy on Paul."
