Similem infirmitatem Remigia matrona incurrens, ad beatam cellulam valde devota pervenit. Quae vigiliis et orationibus insistens, cum matriculam, quae ibidem congregata est, pasceret, aridum brachium cum contractis digitis sanum extulit ad miscendum. Et sic tota die benedictis pauperibus deserviens, sospes remeavit ad
propria. Haec in posterum annis singulis antedictis fratribus alimentum sufficiens exhibebat. Factum est autem, ut quadam vice una puellarum suarum male a quartani typi febre quateretur. Dum autem secundum consuetudinem veniens, pauperibus illis exhibet victum, sancti viri inplorat auxilium, et per quattuor dies ad beatam cellulam continuatione orationis atque ieiuniis decubans, ab omni febre sanata, cum famula magnificans Deum domi regressa est.
'Remigia, a married woman, suffered from a similar disability [a contracted hand - see E02094], and with great piety came to the blessed cell. She devoted herself to vigils and prayers; and while she was helping with the register [of poor people] who gathered there, she received a cure for her withered arm and stiffened fingers so that she might prepare drinks. And so for the entire day she helped the blessed poor, before she returned to her own home a healthy woman. Thereafter every year this woman brought adequate food for these brothers. It happened that one of her maidservants was once badly afflicted with a quartan fever. When Remigia came as usual and brought food for the poor, she implored the assistance of the holy man. After lying in the blessed cell for four days continuously praying and fasting, the servant was completely cured from her fever. Remigia praised God and went home with her servant.'
