Blessed Mary's Life History and Divine Hidden Mysteries

Venerable Sr. Mary of Agreda
Why God revealed this history of Mary
The Lord God Almighty tells Venerable Sr. Mary of Agreda to write down the history of the Virgin Mother of God with Her assistance and the Holy Spirit
".. when I sent My Onlybegotten, the world, with the exception of the few souls that served Me, was in worse condition than it ever had been since its beginning; for human nature is so imperfect that if it does not subject itself to the interior guidance of My light and to the fulfillment of the precepts of My ministers by sacrificing its own judgment and following Me, who am the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14,6), and by carefully observing My commandments in order not to lose My friendship, it will presently fall into the abyss of darkness and innumerable miseries, until it arrives at obstinacy in sin.
In fatherly love I sent them eternal salvation and a remedy for the incurable infirmities of human nature, thus justifying My cause.
And just as I then chose the opportune time for the greater manifestation of My mercy, so I now select this time for showing toward them another great favor.
I wish to give them a light by which they can dispel the gloom that envelops the eyes of their minds; I wish to furnish them a suitable remedy for restoring them to My grace.
I desire to make known to mortals how much intercession of Her is worth, who brought restoration of life by giving mortal existence to the immortal God.
I wish to make known to them much of that, which according to My high judgment is still hidden concerning the Mother of the Word.
I have not revealed these mysteries in the primitive Church, because they are so great, that the faithful would have been lost in the contemplation and admiration of them at a time when it was more necessary to establish firmly the law of grace and of the Gospel.
Although all mysteries of religion are in perfect harmony with each other, yet human ignorance might have suffered recoil and doubt at their magnitude, when faith in the Incarnation and Redemption and the precepts of the new law of the Gospel were yet in their beginnings.
On this same account the person of the Incarnate Word said to His disciples at the last supper: "Many things have I to say to you; but you are not yet disposed to receive them" (John 6, 12).
But now, mankind has greater need for this manifestation, and this necessity urges Me to disregard their evil disposition.
And if men would now seek to please Me by reverencing, believing, and studying the wonders, which are intimately connected with this Mother of Piety, and if they would all begin to solicit Her intercession from their whole heart, the world would find some relief.
I will no longer withhold from men this Mystical City of Refuge; describe and delineate it to them, as far as thy shortcomings allow.
I do not intend that thy descriptions and declarations of the life of the Blessed Virgin shall be mere opinions or contemplations, but reliable truth.
They that have ears to hear, let them hear. Let those who thirst come to the Living Waters and leave the dried-out cisterns; let those that are seeking for the Light, follow it to the end, thus speaks the Lord God Almighty."
