Finally, in answer to Angelica's question, the Princess informs her that her child, the baby whom she had seen and kissed only once, had died two years previously. Thereupon Angelica, seized by a sudden frenzy, concocts a poison and seeks suicide. Seized by remorse at her act, she implores the Virgin not to let her die in mortal sin, and then a miracle takes place. The Mother of Comfort suddenly appears on the threshold of the little church, enveloped in celestial radiance; a blonde child walks in front of the Virgin, who, with a gesture of inef'fable benevolence, gently pushes the boy into the arms of his dying mother, while a choir of nuns and angels sings Thou Art Saved.
