The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda describes how the Blessed Virgin Mary was informed of the Divine Will of the Lord, that His Onlybegotten Son should be circumcised, and she confer about it with St. Joseph and the Holy Name of Jesus is brought from Heaven. The Blessed Virgin Mary teaches us about how and what to ask in guidance from the Lord saying, "Take notice of the cautiousness with which I proceeded in my duties; since, as regards finding grace in the eyes of the Lord, a vast difference always remains between the efforts of other creatures and my own. Nevertheless, though I held in my arms God himself as his true Mother, I never presumed to ask Him to explain to me anything whatsoever by extraordinary revelation, neither for the sake of knowing it or for the sake of ridding myself of suffering, nor for any other merely human reason; for all this would have been human weakness, vain and vicious curiosity, which could find no room in me. Whenever necessity urged it upon me for the glory of his Majesty, or some circumstances made it unavoidable, I asked permission to propose my wishes. Although I always found Him most favourable, ready to answer me with kindness and mercifully urging me to declare my wishes, I nevertheless humiliated myself to the dust and merely asked Him to inform me of what was most pleasing and acceptable in his eyes."
