The same friar "at other times while going to church in prayer,
was caught by the devils and was taken; and they threw him up in the
air so high that, passing above the roofs of the capitular hall which
divides the first cloister from the next, he fell in the latter. There
other devils were awaiting him and receiving him they threw him
anew in the same manner so that he landed again in the principal
cloister without hearing from him a word of protest or suffering until
invoking the sacred names of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, they left him
(p. 15). Who on reading this would not envy a friar having a diversion
so entertaining and so sane and economical? How can one help being
grateful to the demons who received him in the other hall instead
of letting him fall on the floor? With reference to these prodigies
mentioned one reads in the same Novena the following considerations:
"What trouble is there for us to habituate ourselves in repeating in
our invocations the sweetest names of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph? (p. 27).
