The Book of Divine Consolation

And in this repose of body and cheerfulness of spirit she lay very joyfully until the hour of Compline on the Saturday, surrounded by many of the brethren who did administer the Holy Mysteries unto her. And upon that same day, that is to say, upon the Octave of the Innocents, at the last hour of the day she gently fell asleep and rested in peace. And that most holy soul was set free from the flesh, and being drawn into the abyss of the divine infinitude, it received from Christ, its Bridegroom, the garment of innocence and immortality, in order that it might reign together with Him. And unto this same place may He likewise bring us, through the virtue of the Cross, the merits of the Virgin, His Mother, and the intercession of this our mother, the Blessed Angela. Amen. End of the Testament and Passing Away of the Blessed Angela. The venerable bride of Christ, Angela of Foligno, passed from the shipwreck of this world unto the joys of heaven, which had long been promised unto her, in the year of our Lord's Incarnation, one thousand, three hundred and nine, on the fourth day of January, in the time of Pope Clement the Fifth.
