“While I was doing penance, all hell seemed to break loose. I heard so many noises, screams and screeches, and hissing like snakes. Finally, I seemed to hear a confusion of voices, but I could not understand what they were saying. I only remember that in the end they said, “Cursed are you! We will make you pay for this!” While saying so, the room I was in became completely enflamed; but in an instant it passed. I then seemed to know that the tempter was envious and that he did not want anyone to pray for the conversion of sinners.”
