And the cry of the birds was such that the blessed Francisco could not make himself heard by the people; He addressed them and said: “My swallow sisters, the time has come for me to speak; You have already talked enough until now. Hear the word of God and be silent and be still while I preach the word of God.

Contemplating such a spectacle, the people, amazed, said to themselves: «Truly this man is a saint and friend of the Most High.» And with all devotion they rushed to even touch her dress, praising and blessing the Lord.
