By and by two venerable bishops passed through Haeckendover, and
seeing the new church were minded to give it their blessing.
They knew nothing of the words of Jesus to the three ladies, or they
would not have thought of such temerity.
But they were punished terribly none the less.
For as one of them was about to bless the water for this purpose he
became suddenly blind.
And the other, who was holding the holy water brush, when he lifted
his arms for the blessing, found them suddenly withered and stiffened,
so that he could no longer move them.
And perceiving that they had sinned in some way the two bishops were
filled with repentance and prayed to the Lord Jesus to pardon them.
And they were straightway pardoned, seeing that they had sinned
in ignorance.
And thereafter they came oftentimes most devoutly to Haeckendover.
