Bzovius, who has examined this story with that solemn critical
spirit that canonical writers offer so many examples of, is
quite convinced that she was worthy of this honour by reason
of the tender fidelity she showed to Our Lady, for it is, he
said, purity of love that makes saints, and I would affirm, not
with much authority admittedly, but in the sincerity of my mind
and heart, that, as long as the school of Luther and Voltaire
cannot offer me a more poignant story than hers, I will agree
with the opinion expressed by Bzovius.
