Life in the Temple of Jerusalem 10 BC
The Blessed Virgin Mary requested that Simeon and her teacher Anne prescribe for Her an order of life and to direct Her in the occupations. The priest and her instructress, having considered her petition (with the aid of grace) desired to regulate the exercises of this heavenly Child of only three years. She was given a daily schedule a routine which she exceeded. The Virgin Mary told the Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus, "In the works of performing more than is required by duty, obligation, or need, after praying for a holy cheerful readiness, ask the advice of thy confessor and superior, and perform them with a spirit entirely free of any preference or self-love. That which they direct, accept, and write in thy heart, never resting in its punctual fulfillment. If it is possible to avail thyself of obedience and counsel, never decide for thyself on anything, no matter how good it may appear to thee; because the true will of God is always manifest in holy obedience."
