One day, the feast of the Assumption of our Lady, Queen of Angels,
the Lord desired to grant me the following favor; in a rapture He
showed me her ascent to heaven, the happiness and solemnity with
which she was received, and the place where she is. I wouldn't be
able to describe how this happened. The glory my spirit experienced
in seeing so much glory was magnificent. The effects of this favor
were great. I was helped in having a deeper desire to undergo
difficult trials, and I was left with a longing to serve our Lady
since she deserved this so much. St Teresa of Avila, The book of her
life, ch 39.
