Mary of Agreda comes and sits next to me. She says: “Praise be to Jesus. My sister, I have come to share with you certain things about the Blessed Virgin Mary–specifically, Her life of virtue, and how She most perfectly lived certain virtues.”

“First, I invite you to understand that on the surface, She was much like you and I–unassuming, always happy to be in the background, ready to take on the lowliest task. The difference is She did everything to perfection. She perfectly fulfilled God's Divine Will because She wasn't a fallen creature.”

“You (and me when I was alive) have trouble sometimes knowing God's Will. But Mary always made the perfect choices. She was childlike in simplicity, humble in Her bearing, trusting in Her nature. Though She was often overlooked for certain ‘important' tasks, She was satisfied and accepting of this. The love She had for creatures was always based on Her profound love of God. She saw everything and everyone as God's creation.”

“I will be coming to you now to describe Our Mother's life in certain virtues; I will come quietly and lovingly.”
