CHAPTER IX.
THE: BEGINNINGS OF THE GOSPELS WRITTEN BY THE
EVANGELISTS; THE PART WHICH THE MOST BLESSED
MARY HAD IN THEIR COMPOSITION/ SHE APPEARS TO
SAINT PETER IN ANTIOCH AND IN ROME; SIMILAR
FAVORS SHOWN TO OTHER APOSTLES.
557. I have described, as far as I was permitted, the
exalted state of the great Queen and Lady after the first
council of the Apostles, and also her victories over the
infernal dragon and his demons. Although the wonder
ful works which She accomplished during these times
and at all times, cannot be recorded in a history, nor even
summed up, I was nevertheless given special light for
the purpose of describing the beginnings of the Gospels
and the call of the Evangelists to undertake their writing,
the part which Mary bore in their being written, her
solicitous care for the absent Apostles, and the miracles
She wrought for them. In the second part, and on many
occasions I have stated, that the heavenly Mother had a
positive knowledge of all the mysteries of grace, of the
Gospels and other holy writings, which were to serve for
the confirmation of the new Law. In this knowledge
She was confirmed many times, especially on the day of
her ascension with her divine Son into heaven. From
that day on, without forgetting anything, She often pros
trated Herself in prayer before the Lord, asking Him
to send his divine light upon the Apostles and holy
writers and to order them to write, when the opportune
time should have come.
