041 - Book II Chapter XXIII

The Mystical City of God is a profound work penned in the 17th century by the Franciscan nun, Venerable Mary of Jesus of Ágreda. In this remarkable book, Mary of Ágreda shares that much of the text was inspired and dictated by the Blessed Virgin Mary herself. It delves into the life of the Virgin Mary and the divine blueprint for creation and the salvation of souls. The narrative weaves together rich descriptions of the Trinity, the Virgin Marys life, and the spiritual insights she imparts to the author, providing a source of wisdom for readers seeking spiritual growth. With a focus on embodying various virtues, this work encourages readers to reflect these qualities in their own lives, with the Virgin Mary serving as the ultimate model of sanctity. Volume four specifically celebrates the Coronation of our Lady, exploring the heavenly life of the Queen of Heaven, most holy Mary, and recounting events from the coming of the Holy Ghost to the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin Mother of God in Heaven. - Summary by Wikipedia and the Introduction
