Welcome. I sincerely hope you enjoy the posts on this blog, which is dedicated to introducing you to one of the most important spiritual works ever published.
It's author, Sister María de Ágreda has been raised to the state of Venerable and is an incorruptible (her body did not -- and does not -- undergo normal decomposition following death). I do not understand incorruptibility other than to say that she does not decay because God does not permit it.
The Blessed Virgin Mary leads us to Jesus Christ. "The Mystical City of God" gives us a first hand account of our Blessed Mother's special relationship with the Triune God. This powerful historywill change you.
From Wikipedia:
"Mary of Jesus of Ágreda's best known single work is the Mystical City of God (Spanish: Mistica Ciudad de Dios, Vida de la Virgen María), consisting of 8 books (6 volumes). This related her revelations about the terrestrial and heavenly life, received directly from (dictated by) the Blessed Virgin Mary. The books include information about the relationship of the 'Blessed Virgin' with the Triune God, as well as the doings and Mysteries performed by Jesus as God-Man in flesh and in Spirit. The narrative contains extensive details and covers the New Testament time line. It also relates advice given by the Holy Mother on how to acquire true sanctity.
The Mystical City of God, the biography of Mary, is now frequently studied in college and university programs of Spanish language and culture, for its contribution to Baroque literature.[5] Written in elegant Spanish, it relates both terrestrial and spiritual details, many either not known or not totally accepted at the time. These included the way the earth looks from the space (contained in her unpublished 17th Century "Tratado de rendondez de la Tierra"); the Immaculate Conception of Virgin Mary, the Assumption of Mary, the duties of Michael the Archangel and Gabriel the Archangel; and meticulous detail on the childhood of Jesus. Other details that Mary related concerned Christ's Passion, Resurrection and Ascension."
The articles contained herein are based on excerpts taken from the books. It is not my intent to add to them or to attempt to explain them in any meaningful way. The goal is to break this magnificent work into bite sized pieces with the prayerful and hopeful intent that more members of the English speaking world read it for themselves. May the Holy Spirit guide you in all your endeavors.
