Last Judgment (Cont.) (Chadwick) n. 67

67. I shall add here another experience. Sometimes the Parisians, who form a community in the spiritual world, see appear at a moderate height a woman dressed in shining clothing and with a saintly expression, who claims she is Genevieve. But when some people begin to venerate her, her face and her clothing change at once, and she becomes like an ordinary woman. She reproaches them for wanting to venerate a woman who is regarded by her companions as no more than a servant-girl, expressing surprise that people in the world are the dupes of such trickery. The angels told me that the reason for her appearance was to keep apart those there who venerated human beings from those who venerated the Lord.
