Father Pierre du Vaux, the friend and confessor of St. Colette, wrote of her:  
 On the twenty-sixth day of February, which was a Sunday, she made her confession in the morning and received at Holy Mass with most great devotion the most precious Body of our Lord.  During the following night she was visited by our Lord very specially.  After this visitation she seemed to be in a state of childhood and innocence and had no care or solicitude for anything in the world except to beseech and to pray to God vocally and mentally.  And along with this she had a most great and unaccustomed weakness, because of which her father confessor feared that she must soon go to our Lord.  And because of this fear he gave her the holy oil and extreme unction and afterwards read the holy Passions of our Lord in her presence.  And at the end of these he perceived from certain signs that it was not yet the hour when she must pass away, so he left her presence.
