tears, not doubting that this heavenly odour was a sign of the glory enjoyed by the Saint in heaven. Another circumstance occurred to increase their wonder. Her flesh was reduced to dust (according to the wish she had expressed to God), but her tongue remained fresh, moist, and red. The confessor of the convent, Brother Evangelist of Fabriano, who was present, was moved to tears at the sight of this miracle, and testified his admiration in the words of S. Bonaventure at the sight of the incorrupt tongue of S. Antony of Padua: "O precious tongue, which hast always blessed the Lord, and taught others to bless Him, it is now manifest how great thy service of God has been!" When the nuns had satisfied their tender devotion, they placed the holy body in a marble tomb, which they had previously caused to be constructed in the choir; but the tongue was enclosed in a precious reliquary apart.
