A monk could not read very well, but was devoted to the Virgin.
He always recited five hymns: the Magnificat; Ad Dominum; In convertendo; Ad te; and Retribue servo tuo.
He selected these five because the first letters of the songs represented the five letters in the name Maria.
He repeated these hymns daily in front of an altar and repented of his sins.
He did this his whole life, and when he died, a bush with five roses emerged from his mouth.
It bloomed because he had praised the Virgin.
