-  “One day during the celebration of the Eucharist, [St. Catherine of Bologna, a Poor Clare],  stood on her feet as on the cross, according to her expression, not only regarding her bodily position, but also from the effort to stay awake, which cost her a great struggle. While the priest was reciting the Sanctus, she heard the angels singing this word.
            The melody was sweet and gentle to the point that it seemed to her that her soul had escaped her body. She described it as the briefest instant, happening without enough time even to hear the whole word, but so intense that, if it had lasted a moment longer, she would have fainted.”                                                         - Sister Chiara Giovanna Cremaschi O.S.C.
