St Bridget’s Eucharistic Vision, Italy, Naples Late 14th century
“One day, when a priest was celebrating Mass,
I saw, at the moment of Consecration,
how all the powers of heaven were set in motion.
I heard, at the same time, a heavenly music,
most harmonious, most sweet.
Numberless Angels came down,
the chant of whom
no human understanding could conceive,
nor the tongue of man describe.
They surrounded and looked upon the priest,
bowing towards him in reverential awe.
The devils commenced to tremble,
and took to flight
in greatest confusion and terror.”
