One day St. Frances of Rome was on her way to receive Holy Communion, when she saw the devil, who tempted her by saying:

"How can you, who are so full of venial sins, dare to receive the Immaculate Lamb of God?"

She had the grace to see that this was not humility, but a trick to drive her away from God. She instead drove away the devil and his temptation.

After this the Blessed Virgin appeared to her, and said:

"My child, you have done well. Your defects, instead of being an obstacle to your going to Communion, should, on the contrary, induce you to go more and more frequently, since in Holy Communion you find the remedy for all your miseries."
