However, she had felt very ill at ease in that house<br \/>\nbecause there was frequently a man in it with a terrible look who would try to<br \/>\ngrab her; but\u00a0<strong>the lady defended herself by holding up the rosary she had in her<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>hands; at the sight of it he would flee<\/strong>. The distraught lady left everything and<br \/>\nreturned to Corato with her children. No one believed the poor soul and she was<br \/>\nthought to be out of her mind, especially by her husband who had Masonic<br \/>\nleanings. Completely at a loss as to what she should do, she went to see Luisa,<br \/>\nwho listened to her kindly, comforted her, told her not to be frightened because<br \/>\nthe devil had no power over her, and urged her to return to her work. The lady<br \/>\ntook her advice, but wanted to take a photograph of Luisa with her: she had it<br \/>\nframed and put it on her bedside table.\u00a0<strong>One evening, while she was reciting the<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Holy Rosary with her children, she saw the man again. He approached the bed,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>took the picture of Luisa, threw it on the floor and fled shrieking.<\/strong>\u00a0From that<br \/>\nmoment nothing further happened; peace and serenity returned to the house. The<br \/>\nphotograph of Luisa which had been violently thrown on the floor was not<br \/>\ndamaged, indeed the glass did not even break. This framed photograph is now in<br \/>\nthe house of the lady\u2019s daughter-in-law, on her bedside table. <span style=\"color: #ffffff; text-align: center;\">*****<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" align=\"justify\"><strong>Luisa Piccarreta; \u201cThe Person\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>(From Fr.
