Menologio - November

“Stop, stop! Behold the Mother of God!”… From that day on, Diego was doing nothing else but talk about Paradise: now he was singing some Spanish songs in honor of Our Lady, now he was dialoguing with the Angels, now he would clap his hands out of joy. The feast of all Saints was close, so Diego started to call each of them by name through the Litany of the Saints. That was the designated day: Don Diego knew and said so. And the 1st of November came. Then he arranged his feet and the arms as Jesus on the cross, just as he had always desired. The agony lasted from the first hours of the morning until the evening: until the Angels came: “I do not know if, except for the miracles, a religious could have a happier and holier death!”

                                    (cfr Fr. Gabuzio, Historia, pp. 258-263)
