>In Le Grand Exorde de Citeaux : Recit des debuts de l'Ordre Cistercien IV, 275-276, there is an episode (dating c. 1150)describing the triple vision of a dying Cistercian monk: first of St. John the Evangelist, then of the Virgin Mary, and finally of Christ surrounded by the angels and saints.

> Weren't confessor saints supposed to be granted a vision of the
> godhead at their death? This is just a vague recollection, and I may
> well be wrong . I'm sure someone on this list will be able to either
> correct me or expand appropriately, but it seems a related
> phenomenon.
