«Thus the months of 1932 passed [...] but for her everything was reduced to a continuous increase of agony and martyrdom. But hand in hand, her mysterious relationships with the supernatural also increased, especially with the Most Holy Virgin. Between the Mother of God and our Servant of God a kind of sweet familiarity began to establish itself which became day by day more and more intimate, affectionate and confidential. Often Anfrosina was abstracted from the senses and fell into a kind of very sweet ecstasy, during which one noticed in her gestures and attitudes evident signs of mysterious conversations with some being that those present did not see or hear, but which Anfrosina certainly she saw and heard [...] and when she came out of these states, with all naturalness and simplicity she reported that Our Lady had come to find her and that she had told her this or that».
