“I will take counsel on this, and then I will answer you: but I beseech you, for the honour of God and Our Lady permit me to hear Mass in this good town.” “You consent simply and absolutely to take female attire?” “Send me a dress like a daughter of your citizens—that is to say, a long ‘houppeland.’[81] I will wear it to go and hear Mass. I beseech you as earnestly as I can, permit me to hear it in the dress I wear at this moment and without changing anything!” “Will you submit your actions and words to the decision of the Church?” “My words and deeds are all in God’s Hands: in all, I wait upon Him. I assure you, I would say or do nothing against the Christian Faith: in case I have done or said anything which might be on my soul and which the clergy could say was contrary to the Christian Faith established by Our Lord, I would not maintain it, and would put it away.” “Are you not willing to submit yourself in this to the order of the Church?” “I will not answer you anything more about it now. Send me a cleric on Saturday; and, if you do not wish to come yourself, I will answer him on this, with God’s help; and it shall be put in writing.” “When your Voices come, do you make obeisance to them as to a Saint?” “Yes; and if perchance I have not done so, I have afterwards asked of them grace and pardon. I should not know how to do them such great reverence as belongs to them, for I believe firmly they are Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret. I believe the same of Saint Michael.” “For those who are Saints of Paradise, offerings are voluntarily made of candles, etc.: have you never made an offering of lighted candles, or other things, to the Saints who come to you, in the Church or elsewhere, or had Masses said?” “No, unless it be in the offering of the Mass, in the hands of the Priest, in honour of Saint Catherine, one of the Saints who appeared to me. I have never lighted as many candles as I wish to Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret, who are in Paradise; and I firmly believe it is they who come to me.” “When you place lights before the image of Saint Catherine, do you place them in honour of the one who appears to you?” “I do it in honour of God, of Our Lady, and of Saint Catherine who is in Heaven, and of her who appears to me.” “Do you place these lights in honour of Saint Catherine, who has shewn herself to you, who has appeared to you?” “Yes, I make no difference between the one who has appeared to me, and the one who is in heaven.”[82] “Do you always do, always accomplish, what your Voices command you?” “With all my power I accomplish the command that Our Lord sends me through my Voices, in so far as I understand them. My Voices command nothing but by the good pleasure of Our Lord.” “In warfare, have you done nothing without counsel of your Voices?”
