  1. (continued from previous page)
    night. Just at the same hour the priest came out and did as before.
    In the morning the boy told his parish priest who remained in the church with him that night.
    The priest came to the foot of the altar as usual and started to say Mass. The parish priest went up beside the strange priest and answered the priest until the Mass was finished. Then the strange priest said that while on earth he promised to say a Mass for someone and he did not fulfill it, and that was the only night since his death that he got anyone to serve him.
