The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Agreda takes us up to what's near the end of Mary's time at the Temple in Jerusalem. Mary has suffered for years, and the angels and God explain suffering to her. The Blessed Virgin Mary explained, "Accept then, my dearest, this doctrine and engrave it deeply into your heart. Understand that as a daughter of the Most High, as a spouse of my Son, and as my disciple, even if from no other motive, you must acquire the precious gem of suffering and thus become pleasing to your Lord and Spouse. I exhort you, my daughter, to select the sufferings of his Cross in preference to his favors and gifts and rather embrace afflictions than a desire to be visited with caresses; for in choosing favors and delights you may be moved by self-love, but in accepting tribulations and sorrows, you can be moved only by the love of Christ."
