"Look, he is all flushed!" Mary said to the saints

Father Jean Edouard Lamy was a French priest born in 1853, who died in 1931. The founder of the Community of Servants of Jesus and Mary, he had frequent mystical visions of the Blessed Virgin. He was known for his love of simplicity. 

One day, the Virgin Mary caught him by surprise, appearing to him at the most unexpected moment, in all simplicity, while he was cleaning his church, kneeling on the ground, wearing an apron. All absorbed by his work, Father Lamy didn’t notice her, so the archangel Gabriel had to announce: "The Queen of Heaven is here!"

Father Lamy was very embarrassed to find himself in such a position, which made the Virgin laugh! "I blushed, I did not know where to hide; I would have liked to go underground. I took off my biretta, but for the apron (he gesticulates), I pulled on the strings, and the more I pulled, the more I tightened them. ... "Look, he is all flushed!" she said to the saints, seeing that I was struggling."
