CHAPTER IV.<br />

THREE DAYS AFTER THE MOST BLESSED MARY DESCENDED<br />

FROM HEAVEN, SHE MANIFESTS HERSELF AND SPEAKS<br />

IN PERSON TO THE APOSTLES ;<br />

CHRIST OUR LORD VIS<br />

ITS HER! OTHER MYSTERIES UNTIL THE COMING OF<br />

THE HOLY GHOST.<br />

39. I again remind those who shall read this his<strong>to</strong>ry<br />
