A man tried to please the Virgin, but neglected to confess his sins.
One day, when he was passing through some mountains, thieves attacked him. They beheaded him and fled.
Four days later, when two Franciscans were passing by, they heard the corpse cry out, asking for confession.
The friars were startled, but discovered the body with the head miraculously reattached.
The man told them that thieves had killed him and devils had tried to carry off his soul. He said that the Virgin had overcome the devils and caused his head to be reattached so that he could make his confession.
The friars gathered a great crowd and the man made his confession. Afterwards, his head immediately detached from his body and he died. The people praised the Virgin.
