Mystical City of God

St. Anne's Helper offers the Mystical City Of God as a Catholic ebook PDF download of all four volumes! This is a HUGE download, so have your computer ready to accept long files. As I was renewing this page I saw that TAN has just increased its price to $160! This is where having an ereader starts to become cost effective! Think of the thousands of Roman Catholic books that are on pdf for 99 cents or for free. Giant savings and lighter to hold, too.

Catholic Ebook Download $12.99

St. Anne's Helper offers Venerable Mary of Agreda's The Mystical City of God as a Catholic ebook, an inexpensive way for us to produce, and for you to own, this dear book about the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, God's plan for creation and the salvation of souls that has fascinated readers since the 1600s. No text was changed from the photographic original. We are pleased to note that we have many satisfied customers of this book.

We would like to let the four volume book speak for itself about the virtues of the beautifully incorrrupt Maria de Jesus de Agreda and the occasion of this most beautiful of Catholic books.

Be sure to consider buying The Mystical City of God at Amazon since it might have a more reasonable price than TAN and you can often find other books of interest at the same time. There's nothing like snuggling up to a real book, and nothing beats Catholic books! Further, nothing beats Catholic books at the best price. :-)

If you're not in for the higher prices and want to start your own collection of Catholic ebooks, I highly recommend getting an Amazon Kindle or Kindle Fire. There are many Catholic Kindle Books and thousands of free Kindle Books. We have friends who are in the military and are so glad to have an ereader so that they do not have so many books to pack. It greatly reduces the weight so that it is easier to stay under the weight limits for traveling and moving. Ereaders make awesome gifts, too.

Mary of Agreda

"Mary of Agreda "was the daughter of Francis Coronel and Catherine of Arana, born April 2, 1602, in the small town of Agreda near Tarazona in Spain. In 1617 she entered the convent of the discalced Franciscan Nuns in the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Agreda and took her vows one year later. In 1625 she was chosen abbess, much against her wishes, and, except during a short intermission, was re-elected every three years until she died, in 1665. The fame of her prudence and foresight, not only in the gov government of her convent but in other matters, soon spread outside the convent walls and persons of the highest rank in state and Church were eager to obtain her counsel in important affairs. King Philip IV visited her several times in her convent and corresponded with her about national affairs for many years."

Virtues of Mother Mary of Agreda

"But she was no less famous for her exalted virtues. In many respects her life was a faithful copy of that of St. Francis. The miracle of bilocation related of her is in fact more remarkable and lasted a longer time than that recorded anywhere in the lives of the saints. Her good sense, her truthfulness, her sincerity, her humility, her unselfish love of God and man eminently adapted her for the communication of messages from God to men." (p. xiv-xv)

An evidence of this today is that she is still beautifully incorrupt!

Writing The Mystical City Of God

We are so edified by Ven. Mary of Agreda's heroic reserve and obedience in writing the Mystical City of God:

"Though she was urged interiorly and exteriorly to record the facts of history revealed to her concerning the Mother of God, she resisted for twelve years and was finally induced to write only through the positive commands of her superiors. Reluctantly she began her his tory in the year 1637 and finished it in the year 1645, continually asking to be relieved from the task because she thought herself unworthy. As soon as the insistence of her superiors relaxed and an error of judgment on the part of an outside confessor gave her a plausible excuse, she burned all her writings, thus destroying the labor of many years. When this came to the knowledge of the higher authorities and when they insisted on her rewrit ing the history which continued to be supernaturally made known to her, she again succeeded in delaying the task for ten years. Only the strictest command under obedience and the threat of censures finally induced her to write the manuscript which she began in 1655 and finished in 1665, and which is still preserved in the conventof Agreda." (p. xv)

About The Mystical City Of God

A note from the Note To The Reader:

"The Church has as yet given no public and full ap proval to private revelations of any kind; nor will she ever do so, since that would be really an addition to the deposit of faith left by Christ. But tacitly and indirectly she has approved many private revelations, and among them the writings of Mary of Agreda. She could well do so, since there are no writings of that kind which exhibit more reliable human proofs of divine origin than the 'Ciudad de Dios' of the Venerable Servant of God, Mary of Jesus of Agreda." (p. ii)

We would like to ask your prayers for the repose of the souls of Fr. Albert Drexel and my parents who were instrumental in our finding the Mystical City of God and presenting it to you as a Catholic Ebook.

This really can save you money if you have an eReader like an Amazon Kindle.
