About this listen

The Mystical City of God was composed in the 17th century by Mary of Jesus of Ágreda, a Franciscan nun.

The book recounts the life of the Virgin Mary and the divine plan both for creation and the salvation of souls. According to María de Ágreda, the book was mostly dictated to her by the Virgin Mary herself. The book moves between describing the Trinity, the Virgin Mary's life, and providing spiritual guidance to the author, which also spiritually benefits the listener. The book describes the virtues and how the listener ought to conduct his or her life using the Virgin Mary as a model for holiness.

This work bears the Imprimatur of many popes and bishops. However, misinterpretations of her writings led to it being temporarily placed on the Church's Banned Book List in August 1681. But with the order of Blessed Innocent XI, the condemnation was removed three months later, after it was shown that a flawed French translation was at the basis for the banning. The book was criticized by Jansenists and Gallicans in the 18th century, but the Church continued to defend its orthodoxy.

María de Ágreda was declared venerable in 1673, soon after her death.

The story is wonderful but the narrator almost ruined this for me with her awful pronunciations.

Wonderful story

I loved the reader....details stood alone without a reader who dominates the writer. This reader enhanced the words by not drawing attention to herself

The detail descriptions were wonder. The reader grew up and traveled with Our Lady.

If you’re already a Catholic Christian this book will inspire you beyond understanding.
If you’re not; you’re missing so much more to any version of faith that you could come to understand so much more completely.
The lives and writings of the saints are here to instruct and teach us. They are our modern day prophets and miracle workers. If you think prophecy and miracles are a thing of the past ; then you need to pick up some inspired books and educate yourself.

The details of Our Lady’s life to the visible descriptions and emotions & thoughts of each person related to or have come in contact with her. This lengthy book is beautifully narrated and its content brings you much closer in relationship to Jesus and all those who played a part in the salvation of man.

Amazingly written account of Our Lady

Valuable book for anyone that would like to learn more about and get greater perspective on the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Poor narration though. Almost sounds like it’s being read by AI as the reading does not sound or flow naturally and sometimes sounds like it’s been pieced together.

Should be re-narrated.

Beautiful book but very poor narration.
