What God displeased.

Of these, God has said in church 37 years ago, which is delivered in 1621 at the feast Nativity of Mary the clear proof. Namely, since the said date from Bohemia (probably from Naglitz, Weissbach and vicinity) came pilgrimage as numerous and as the preacher ( Prot priest ), who was called Timothy Weber ( Textor ), and his servants to open and close the church door as to tedious vexed, they brought behind the illustrious Lord Ernst of Kollonitsch, patron of the said place, the request that he would deliver them out of this annoyance and give you the desired peace. Above Named Lord deigned to accept their request and asked for un them the kind of implementation. Replied the preacher: Let the people the church gate within, on most solid lock, close and wall up and then get out through a window by means of ladders. So is going to happen, that if they ( the pilgrims ) on the feeder prevented and so we want to lurk behind the Bestreuche and watch - against use goal violence, they remain with the gracious Lord in the sentence or at least when they see beyond locked in their hope deduct deceived. When going away, we want to mock them properly and hiss on that from now on they will not come back and do not make more effort.

After this had been done, they retreated behind the bushes next to St. Anna chapel near the church back, carefully watching the outcome of the case aund curious expecting. When they had been for some time in hiding, behold, hymns parish comrades from Naglitz, a village in Bohemia, published in procession, singing and drawing according to the custom in the Church. But when she arrived at the church door verbollwerkten, they moved, that whole process ignorant, through the open door one without any resistance.

Aback by this sight and frightened by the novelty of the miracle ascended the noble lord governor soon the horse and said to Plädikanten, 'This is a miracle Mr. Timothy ' This replied, ' Your Grace will can not be frightened by this miracle; even the devil can work miracles. ' But the other ( Kollonitsch ) remarked, as if struck by lightning from heaven like Saul, from this event, that he was blind and had been previously and went soon after, in the city of Vienna to his Annanias to search. There ersich eagerly sought by the learned men with whom he sat in touch to find out what he had to do now. After about 14 days, he returned to Kirchberg and after a stay of a few days he sent back about your trip - apparently to return to Vienna. - In fact, however, he moved to the monastery Zwettl to Reverend Abbot (then Seifried ) in order to accurately and completely under his direction in the cath. To let teach religion. After he hette spent three weeks in this matter, he returned to Stored sacramental confession and strengthened by the Holy. Supper home to his subjects back and recanted publicly. He confessed Before all his mistake. This story makes credible so it goes on, which is often called noble lord governor, at that time still told Baron von Kollonitsch, the same almost every confidant and she claimed to be the cause of his conversion. Furthermore, Christoph Nöltl, at that time manager of this rule and Johann Kleibeisen, the then hunters, who were present at this event and several others that have already died ( Zwettlerstrasse Annals.)
