A young girl of
noble station named Alexandra had been miraculously converted and enrolled
by Saint Dominic in the Confraternity of the Rosary. After her death, she
appeared to him and said she had been condemned to seven hundred years in
purgatory because of her own sins and those she had caused others to commit
by her worldly ways. So she implored him to ease her pains by his prayers
and to ask the Confraternity members to pray for the same end. Saint
Dominic did as she had asked.
Two weeks later she appeared to him, more radiant than the sun, having been
quickly delivered from purgatory by the prayers of the Confraternity
members. She also told Saint Dominic that she had come on behalf of the
souls in purgatory to beg him to go on preaching the Rosary and to ask
their relations to offer their Rosaries for them, and that they would
reward them abundantly when they entered into glory.
