As they approached the hallowed spot, Adele could see the beautiful lady, clothed in dazzling white, with a yellow sash around her waist. Her dress fell to her feet in graceful folds. She had a crown of stars around her head, and her long golden wavy hair fell loosely over her shoulders: such a heavenly light shown around her that Adele could hardly look at her sweet face. Overcome by this heavenly light and the beauty of her amiable visitor, Adele fell on her knees.
'In God's name, who are you, and what do you want of me?' asked Adele as she had been directed.
'I am the Queen of Heaven who prays for the conversion of sinners, and I wish you to do the same. You received Holy Communion this morning, and that is well. But you must do more. Make a general confession and offer Communion for the conversion of sinners. If they do not convert and do penance, my Son will be obliged to punish them.'
'Adele, who is it?' said one of the women. 'O why can't we see her as you do?' said another weeping.
' Kneel,' said Adele, 'the Lady says she is the Queen of Heaven.' Our Blessed Lady turned, looked kindly at them and said 'Blessed are they that believe without seeing.'
'What are you doing here in idleness,' continued our Lady, 'while your companions are working in the vineyard of my Son?'
'What more can I do, dear Lady?' said Adele weeping.
'Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation.'
'But how shall I teach them who know so little myself?' replied Adele.
'Teach them,' replied her radiant visitor, 'their catechism, how to sign themselves with the sign of the Cross, and how to approach the sacraments; that is what I wish you to do. Go and fear nothing. I will help you.'
Wrapped as it were in a luminous atmosphere, our Lady lifted her hands as though she were beseeching a blessing for those at her feet. Slowly, she vanished from sight, leaving Adele overwhelmed and prostrate on the ground and the dense woods as solemn as before.”
