Holy Week 2020 - Monday - excerpts from the Mystical City of God

I received this message this morning  ( below ) from Father Hezuk Shroff. Pastor Saint Catherine of Sienna Parish Metcalfe ON Canada.

 " I have put together a PDF document containing excerpts from the Venerable Mary of Agreda's beautiful work, "The Mystical City of God." The title refers to the Virgin Mary, who is the Mystical City in which God dwells more fully than in any other place. Venerable Mary of Agreda was a Spanish nun who lived in the 16th century. Her private revelations are approved by the Catholic Church. 

I thought that you might find this useful for your meditation during Holy Week. The passages in this document speak about the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord. They are from an abridged version of the Saint's work. The full version contains four volumes and is much longer. This excerpt is from the third volume, called "The Transfixion", which is a reference to Our Lady's Dolorous Heart that was pierced ("transfixed") by a sword during the Passion of her Son. 

Please feel free to pass this along to anyone who you think might be interested and who might profit from it during this Holy Week. This text is out of copyright, so it can be freely distributed. 

God bless!'
