The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda describes how the Most Holy Mary was instructed in the articles of faith and what use she made of this knowledge. In the Mystical City of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary constantly educates and warns her children. On this occasion, she says, "...what I desire and command, is this; that you preserve with all reverence and solicitude the precious knowledge and understanding of these venerable sacraments. For as Mother I remind and warn you of the cruel and cunning efforts of your enemies to rob you of them. Be you ever on your guard, that they may find you full of strength, and that your domestics, which are the faculties of your body and mind, be clothed with the double vestments of interior and exterior watchfulness in order to be able to resist the onslaught of their temptation (Proverbs 31:17). The powerful arms for battling against those who make war on you must be the doctrines of the Catholic faith (Romans 1:17), for the firm belief in them and the continual exercise of them, the incessant meditation and remembrance of them, illumine the souls, drives away errors, disclose the deceits of Satan and disperse his falsehoods just as the rays of the sun dispel the dark clouds."
