The Ascension: The Mystical City of God by Mary of Agreda

Welcome to Virgo Potens, where we draw closer to the glory of God through the light of His Mother, the Queen of Heaven.

In this episode, we enter the beginning of Book Seven of The Mystical City of God—a sacred unveiling of divine mysteries following the Ascension of Christ. This chapter, The Descent of the Holy Ghost, reveals how the early Church—gathered in unity, prayer, and peace around the Blessed Virgin Mary—received the long-awaited promise of the Holy Spirit.

We will witness, through the eyes of the Queen of Heaven, how the Apostles and disciples prepared their hearts in prayer and fasting. We see how Mary, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, knew the divine hour and interceded powerfully for the coming of the Paraclete. And then, in a moment of heavenly awe, the Holy Ghost descends—like a mighty wind and tongues of fire—igniting the Church in divine light.

Most astonishing of all, we learn how the Blessed Virgin was filled with such glory that even the angels marveled. For a brief time, She beheld the Holy Ghost in an intuitive vision, lifted to a degree of holiness surpassing that of all the saints and angels combined.

This sacred moment marked the true birth of the Church and the empowerment of the Apostles to preach the Gospel with fire, courage, and divine clarity. The city of Jerusalem trembled—both in grace and judgment—as the Holy Spirit moved through the hearts of the faithful and revealed His justice to the enemies of Christ.

This chapter is not only a historical moment—it is a call to every soul. The Holy Spirit, though unseen, still descends today to those who are pure, humble, and open to divine fire. May this sacred narration deepen your love for the Paraclete and awaken your heart to the hidden power of Pentecost that lives within the Church even now.

Join us as we journey into this mystery of fire and grace—The Descent of the Holy Ghost, as seen through the soul of Mary Most Holy.
