4th glorious mystery explained by Mary



Mary says:


As the birth of the Son was an ecstasy, and from the rapture in God, I returned to be present on earth with my Child in my arms, so my death was a rapture in God.

Trusting in the promise held amidst the divine splendor on the morning of Pentecost, I thought that as the moment of Love's last return to rapture me to Himself approached, it should be signaled by an increase of fire. I was not mistaken.

I, for my part, the more life went on, the more the desire to merge myself with the eternal Charity increased in me. I was stimulated by the desire of my Son and the certainty that I would never have done so much for men as when I was praying for them on the steps of the throne of God. And with an ever more ardent and accelerated movement, with all the strength of my soul I cried out: "Come, Lord, Jesus, come, come, come, Eternal Love!

The Eucharist, which was for me like a sprinkling given to a thirsty flower - it was life - was now no longer enough for the uncontainable yearning of my heart. It was no longer enough for me to receive my divine Creature in me and to carry her in the sacred Species as I had carried her in the virginal flesh. I wanted the One and Triune God with all my being, and not under the veils chosen by my Jesus to hide the ineffable mystery, but just as He was and is and will be in the center of Heaven.

My Son Himself burned me in His Eucharistic raptures with kisses of infinite desire, and every time He came to me with the power of His love He almost tore my soul at the first impulse, and then He remained with infinite tenderness to call me: "Mother!", and I felt Him anxious to have me with Him.

I desired nothing else. There was not even in me the desire to tutelage the nascent Church. Everything was nullified by the desire to possess God in the certainty of being able to possess everything when one possesses God.

Mary, attain this total love. May everything lose value and longing in your eyes. When you are rich in this poverty of desire, which is immeasurable wealth, God will bend over your spirit to kiss it and you will ascend with your spirit to the Father, to the Son, to the Holy Spirit, to know them and to love them for all blessed eternity and to possess their riches of graces, and to dispose of them for the ends and beings that are in your thoughts. One is never so active for the brothers as when we are no longer among the brothers but are lights united to the Light.

The approach of eternal Love had the sign that I thought. Everything lost light and color, voice and presence, under the Fulgor and the Voice that from the open Heavens descended upon me to carry my soul.

It is said: "Mary would have rejoiced to be assisted by her Son". But my sweet Jesus was very present with the Father when Love gave me the third kiss of life, that kiss so divine that in it the soul expired, gathered like a dewdrop drunk by the sun from the center of a lily, and I ascended with my spirit singing the hosanna in the midst of my Three, whom I adored and adore, like a pearl in a setting of fire, followed by the procession of the angelic spirits coming to my eternal Christmas and awaited at the threshold of Heaven by the earthly Bridegroom, by the Kings and by the Patriarchs of my lineage, by the first saints and the first martyrs, and Heaven closed with the joy of having its Queen whose flesh, unique among all mortal flesh, knew the bliss of glorification" .
