ON THE HORIZON FOR SUMMER OF 2025
Apologia Pro Sancta Maria–Mater Pulchrae Dilectionis (Mother of Fair Love): Mater Mysticae Civitatis Dei (Mother of the Mystical City of God), Book 3
by Joseph P. Michael, Th.D.
Mystical theology is a science that examines the intimate relationship between the soul and God, a relationship that is manifested in prayer, contemplation of the divine mysteries and private revelation where the soul is presented with the privileged opportunity to engage in a dialogue with the Incarnate God and the Virgin Mother. This mystical dialogue is both doctrinal and meditative, both speculative and practical.
Book III of this series delves deeper into the mystical relationship between the Virgin Mother and these extraordinary visionaries and living sacraments of charity. In this particular instance, this work examines the mystical dialogue between the Venerable Sister Mary of Agreda and Christ and His Mother as recorded in Mistica Ciudad de Dios, a text that enjoys the approbations of Popes Innocent XI, Alexander VIII, Clement IX and Benedict XIII as well as the Bishop of Ratisbon, the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, the Bishop of Tarazona and the Bishop of Fort Wayne, Indiana who authorize its reading with reverential prudence and good judgment.
It is the expectation that this careful examination of the text using the Lectio Divina method of discernment will provide further illumination of the truths of Catholic doctrine thus providing scholars and theologians with new lines of theological inquiry into the mysteries of the faith and topics related to Mary’s participation in God’s plan of salvation.
