Vision of the Trinity

         He  had   such   devotion  to   the  Holy  Trinity  that  each day  he
would  pray  to  each of  the Three Persons....  And  one day,  while on
the steps of  the  same monastery  reciting  the  Office of  Our  Lady, his
understanding began to be enlightened and he seemed to see the Holy
Trinity in  the figure of three organ keys.   With this figure before him, he
began to weep and the tears   ran  down  so  copiously  and  with  such
sobbing that he could not contain himself.   And going that morning to a
procession which started from the monastery, he  could not  hold  back
his  tears  even   till  dinner  time.   And  after  dinner  he   had  his  mind
entirely engrossed in the figure that he could not speak of anything but
the Holy Trinity.   With great spiritual ecstasy and consolation, he spoke
of the incident in many diverse comparisons; so much so  that  through-
out his whole  life there remained  in  him  a  great  impression,  that of
feeling great devotion to the Holy Trinity. (III.28)
