Mary pleads for the Incarnation - The preparation Part 8 - The Incarnation - Bk3 - Ch8
The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda continues describing Mary's preparation through grace for the pending Annunciation of the Archangel Gabriel. God asked Mary to come closer, and The Blessed Virgin reminds us that He asks the same of us, His chosen one, to come closer as well, "For He derives just as great pleasure from their deeds, as when a father rejoices in his beloved and well-behaved son, whom he looks upon many times with great affection; or as an artist, when he beholds with pride the perfect works of his hands; or as a king, who inspects the rich city, which he has added to his dominions; or as one, who is pleased with his much-beloved friend. There is only this difference: the Most High finds incomparably more delight than all these in the souls, which He has chosen for his blessings; and in proportion, as they dispose themselves and advance in virtue, the Lord also multiplies his favors and benefits."
