it consigns all her crimes to perpetual oblivion. Therefore, having perceived a great and extraordinary gift, namely the remission of all sins and the fulfillment of all her merits, having received security from that point, she reclined in the bosom of her beloved Jesus, embracing Him in many ways. Through the greatness of love, she spoke words of ineffable sweetness with the Lord. She saw a golden pipe proceeding from the heart of God, through which she praised the Lord, and then she prayed that His own praise might be made perfect in her. Immediately, she heard that sweet-sounding voice of the supreme Cantor, the Lord Jesus, thundering: "Sing praise to our God, all His saints" Psalm 47:6. And when she marveled how God Himself could sing this, it was inspired in her divinely in this word, "praise," how God in Himself praises Himself with perfect praise without end. And in the word, "sing," she recognized that God, out of His divine virtue, grants the soul power over all creatures that are in heaven and on earth to invite them to the praise of their Creator. In this word also, "to our God," she understood that the Son of God, insofar as He is man, reveres God the Father, just as He Himself says, "My God and your God" John 20:17. In the word, "all His saints," she recognized that all who are sanctified in heaven and on earth are sanctified by the supreme Sanctifier, Christ the Blessed. She also saw the Blessed Virgin at the right side of her Son, drawing a golden girdle full of golden cymbals through all the orders of angels and choirs of saints, who, each touching the cymbals, returned a wondrous sound, praising God for that soul in all the gifts and graces which He had lavishly perfected in her, and the soul with them, with all her strength, praised God for herself.
