But here in the pass at the gate of the Oratory, contrary to what had always happened in the last year, he felt attracted to enter. While kneeling at the foot of the altar prayed the Virgin to free her from the evil that plagued, she suddenly appeared at the side of a painting behind the altar.
Mary, hovering in the air, he told her: "Martha, your prayer has been heard and accepted, you will heal. Yet you say on my part to the rulers of the city that no longer have to linger in erecting this place is my church, if want to avoid the scourge that our Lord wants to send them. "
