Resumen del Editor

The Mystical City of God was composed in the 17th century by Mary of Jesus of Ágreda, a Franciscan nun.

The book recounts the life of the Virgin Mary and the divine plan both for creation and the salvation of souls. According to María de Ágreda, the book was mostly dictated to her by the Virgin Mary herself. The book moves between describing the Trinity, the Virgin Mary's life, and providing spiritual guidance to the author, which also spiritually benefits the listener. The book describes the virtues and how the listener ought to conduct his or her life using the Virgin Mary as a model for holiness.

This work bears the Imprimatur of many popes and bishops. However, misinterpretations of her writings led to it being temporarily placed on the Church's Banned Book List in August 1681. But with the order of Blessed Innocent XI, the condemnation was removed three months later, after it was shown that a flawed French translation was at the basis for the banning. The book was criticized by Jansenists and Gallicans in the 18th century, but the Church continued to defend its orthodoxy.

María de Ágreda was declared venerable in 1673, soon after her death.

Wonderful story

The story is wonderful but the narrator almost ruined this for me with her awful pronunciations.

Very powerful book

Great narration, and a beautiful story that penetrates your soul! A must read for all!!!

Highly recommend this beautiful reading for anyone who wants to get closer to the BMV!

I wish it was not abridged. I cried several times during this great private revelation. 🙏📿😘

A Labor of Love

Seek and you shall find...knock and you shall enter. This book is an extention of hope 🙏 ❤ for all those who read it.

Beautiful book but very poor narration.

Valuable book for anyone that would like to learn more about and get greater perspective on the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Poor narration though. Almost sounds like it’s being read by AI as the reading does not sound or flow naturally and sometimes sounds like it’s been pieced together.

Should be re-narrated.

Beautiful

My appreciation for the importance of devotion to the blessed mother has increased exponentially, thank you.

loved this, I recommend to everyone

loved the book, this reveals so much and helped me grow in faith and I have more love for my mother Mary now. I didn't want the book to end

The mystical city of God

Wonderful book well read enjoyed it very much. I hope more people will listen to it.

A Rare & Prestigious Catholic Work

This is an incredibly rare piece of work, in the sense that while recognized largely by many Catholics, and more over by the Vatican as a real work inspired by an actual apparition of Mother Mary, what follows is Mother Mary telling Ven. Mary of Agreda, her life story.

Definitely worth a listen.
