Mystical City of God: Book 1, Chapter 19 (The Glory and Power of the Immaculate Conception)

Description for UA-cam (Chapter 19 - The Final Part of Revelation 21 in the Conception of Mary Most Holy):
In this chapter, we explore the final portion of Revelation 21 as it relates to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The mystical vision of St. John reveals the splendor of the Heavenly Jerusalem, adorned with precious stones, representing the virtues and graces infused into Mary from the moment of her conception. Each foundation stone-jasper, sapphire, emerald, and others-symbolizes the gifts bestowed upon her by God, making her the perfect dwelling place for the Divine Word. The twelve gates of pearl signify her role as the gateway of grace, through whom all blessings flow to humanity. The chapter also emphasizes that Mary needs no external light, for she is illuminated by the very presence of God and the Lamb, reflecting the divine wisdom, purity, and love that characterize her immaculate soul. This profound meditation calls us to recognize Mary as the Mediatrix of all graces, the intercessor for all who seek Christ, and the unfailing refuge for sinners. In the final exhortation, the Blessed Virgin urges the soul to fix its gaze upon God, to mortify earthly passions, and to live as one already united to the glory of Heaven. This chapter is a powerful reminder of Mary’s role in salvation history and the graces available through her maternal intercession.
