  1. (continued from previous page)
    had left it on the night before.
    It now struck him that his entrant was the devil, and the horrible state he was in struck him forcibly. He thought that if he were to die then, that he would suffer forever.
    Therefore he proceeded immediately to the sacristy and there he told his tale to the priest. The priest then heard his confession and the man received Holy Communion on that morning.
    It was a remarkable sight to see this man receive Holy Communion every Sunday morning.
