THE CORONATION 519
Divinity did not manifest Itself in any other than by the
abstractive vision now habitual to Her, yet the humanity
manifested Itself to Her glorious, much more resplendent
and wonderful than at the Transfiguration on mount
Tabor. This vision She enjoyed for three consecutive
hours after receiving holy Communion, and its effects
upon Her were such as cannot be described in words. This
was the second reward offered to Her by her divine Son
to recompense Her somewhat for the eternal glory, which
He had delayed at her own desire. Besides this there
was another reason for this wonder : the Lord wished to
recompense Himself and counteract beforehand the in
gratitude, the lukewarmness and evil disposition, with
which the children of Adam were to receive and handle
the sacred mystery of the Eucharist during the ages of
the Church. If the most blessed Mary had not made up
for these shortcomings of creatures, the Lord would have
earned no sufficient thanks from his creatures, nor could
He have been satisfied with the returns made by men for
the institution of this Sacrament.

real salvation and happiness, and the reprobate, wherein
lay their lamentable and everlasting perdition.
O how
happy, my daughter, is the man, who during the short
instant of his life seeks to anticipate the divine science,
which he is so soon to possess by experience! This is
