Mary of Agreda comes. She says: “Praise be to Jesus. My sister, take this down.”

“I am here to speak to you about the virtue of patience in the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Our Lady, who was perfect in every virtue, never allowed time to become Her enemy. In this way She never thought about the past in a negative context–nor did She worry over the future. This allowed Her to patiently live out the present moment in patience and humility. She did not consider how many times She performed a simple task in the past or how long She would need to wait for something in the future. She did not fault others for their sins–thus showing impatience with them. Instead, She prayed for them.”

“When She saw Her Son suffer She did not have a bitter Heart, but was patient with God's Will for Her and Jesus in the present moment. She endured patiently every separation from Jesus–even His Ascent into Heaven.”

“Humility and love were the basis of Her patience, and they shone through Her like sun shines through crystal.”

“Imitate Her.”
