[The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Anna Catherine Emmerich]@TWC D-Link bookThe Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ INTRODUCTION 77/134
Although unable to speak from her excessive suffering, she bore every duty perfectly in mind.
On the evening of the 26th, she said to her friend, 'Today is the ninth day, you must pay for the wax taper and novena at the chapel of St.Anne.' She was alluding to a novena which she had asked to have made for her intention, and she was afraid lest her friends should forget it.
On the 27th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, she received Extreme Unction, greatly to the relief both of her soul and body.
In the evening her friend, the excellent Cure of H___, prayed at her bedside, which was an immense comfort to her.
She said to him: 'How good and beautiful all this is!' And again: 'May God be a thousand times praised and thanked!' The approach of death did not wholly interrupt the wonderful union of her life with that of the Church.
