Message from Venerable Mary of Agreda given to Visionary Maureen Sweeney-Kyle in North Ridgeville, USA

Mary of Agreda comes. She says: "Praise be to Jesus. I have come to begin my discourse with you concerning the virtuous life of Mary, Queen of Heaven and earth."

"Because Our Lady was immaculately conceived, She was not of a fallen nature. Every virtue was perfect in Her and each one based on Holy Love which was Her very Heart."

"Through the deepest virtue of humility ever known to one of God's creatures, Mary always accepted God's Divine Will. This is made apparent in Her words to the Archangel Gabriel at the Annunciation: 'Be it done unto Me according to Thy Word'. Though She sorrowed many times, it was a sorrow that did not proceed from self-love. She sorrowed at the sight of sin in the world and at the sight of Her Son's suffering. She always preferred to be a loving support in the background."

"If the women in Her company began to gossip, Our Lady always found good to say about the person in question. She, in perfect humility, never argued to defend Her opinion, and never gave the least thought to others' opinions of Her. This is because She was humble in thought, word and deed."

"The world today should be consoled at the thought of such a loving, humble Mother up in Heaven."
