The tissues of the second guardian archangel
Father Ángel points out that God exchanged this archangel for another. The data from the process indicate that this new custodian “was the second of the fourth choir of angels” and that he defended it “with greater power and strength than the power of the demons. “He no longer made the head gesture like the previous one to scare away the demons.” Furthermore, he “had in his left hand three branches of most precious gold.”
On the other hand, this celestial being made “skeins of golden silk.” Afterwards she told Francisca that she would make a woven cloth of 100 unions, then another of 70 and finally the one of 30. These symbolized the states of life in which the saint had been sanctified: single, married and widowed.
Father Matteotti emphasized that “the archangel worked quickly to finish this last job, that is, so that she could reach heaven as soon as possible.” Thus, on March 9, 1440, Saint Francis departed to heaven.
