By Venerable Mary of Agreda · Published by TAN Books
Overview
The Mystical City of God Set presents the complete four-volume work of Venerable Mary of Agreda, offering an extraordinary devotional account of the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary and her unique participation in God's plan of salvation. From Mary's Immaculate Conception and hidden childhood through the Incarnation, Passion of Christ, and her final glorification in heaven, this monumental Catholic classic invites readers to contemplate salvation history through the life of the Mother of God.
Based upon the reported mystical revelations of Venerable Mary of Agreda, The Mystical City of God goes far beyond ordinary biography. Across four expansive volumes, readers encounter vivid meditations on the hidden lives of Jesus and Mary, the mystery of the Incarnation, the spiritual realities surrounding angels and demons, the Passion and Redemption, and Our Lady's extraordinary cooperation with divine grace.
Rich in theological reflection and contemplative detail, this complete edition allows readers to experience the breadth of a spiritual masterpiece that has captivated Catholics for centuries. Beautifully bound and designed for lifelong reading, prayer, and study, The Mystical City of God Set is an heirloom-quality addition to the serious Catholic home library.

Four Volumes of Marian Contemplation
The complete Mystical City of God unfolds across four volumes—The Conception, The Incarnation, The Transfixion, and The Coronation. Together, they form an immense devotional narrative encompassing Mary's life, her relationship with Christ, and her participation in the mysteries of Redemption.
More Than a Biography
These volumes are best approached as devotional and mystical literature rather than as a conventional historical biography. The accounts are drawn from Venerable Mary of Agreda's reported private revelations and invite readers into prayerful contemplation of the mysteries of Christ and His Blessed Mother. They do not replace Sacred Scripture or the authoritative teaching of the Church but can serve as a rich aid to meditation and Marian devotion.
From The Mystical City of God
“I am the Lady, the Mystical City of God, the Tower of David, and the House of Gold... and the Gates of Heaven.”
“Behold my heart, My delight and My glory, and in it behold thy salvation and thy refuge.”
Intended Audience
This complete set is ideal for Catholics devoted to Our Lady, readers of classical Catholic spirituality, seminarians, spiritual directors, and those seeking sustained contemplative reading on the mysteries of Christ and Mary. Its scope also makes it particularly suited for serious Catholic home libraries and readers who want a spiritual work they can return to throughout their lives.
FAQs
Does this set contain the complete Mystical City of God? Yes. This set contains all four volumes: The Conception, The Incarnation, The Transfixion, and The Coronation.
How is this different from the popular abridgment? The popular abridgment condenses the work into a single accessible volume. This set provides the complete four-volume work for readers who want the full breadth and detail of Venerable Mary of Agreda's writings.
Is this a historical biography of the Blessed Virgin Mary? No. The work is based upon Venerable Mary of Agreda's reported mystical revelations and should be approached as devotional literature intended to encourage contemplation rather than as a definitive historical account.
Is this suitable for devotional reading? Yes. Despite its considerable theological and mystical depth, its narrative structure makes it especially suitable for slow, prayerful reading and meditation.
Do I need to read all four volumes straight through? No. Readers may progress through the complete work sequentially or use individual sections as material for spiritual reading and meditation on particular mysteries in the lives of Jesus and Mary.
Key Themes
The Blessed Virgin Mary: An expansive devotional contemplation of Mary's life, virtues, and maternal mission.
The Incarnation: The mystery of the Word made flesh and Mary's unique participation in God's saving plan.
Christ's Passion and Redemption: Prayerful reflection on the suffering, Death, and victory of Our Lord.
Divine Grace: The soul's response to God's will through humility, obedience, purity, and charity.
Salvation History: The mysteries of the Faith contemplated within the unfolding work of Redemption.
Marian Contemplation: Growth in love for Christ through deeper meditation on His Blessed Mother.
Read Along with The Mystical City of God in a Year
Make your way through this monumental spiritual classic alongside Fr. Edward Looney's The Mystical City of God in a Year Podcast, designed to accompany readers through the work over the course of a year.
I ordered the hardback set of City of God. I haven't a chance yet to start reading them, but they look so nice on my desk. I plan on starting them as my Advent devotional reading.

Superb edition, most promising subject
Posted by Mr. M. on Jul 22nd 2022
Superb edition, excellent condition, quickly received. I long to compare Saint Maria de Agreda;s revelations to those of Blessed Catherine Emmerich, which I am reading right now. I find all those insights into the lives and thoughts of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and many others not only fascinating, but very helpful to my spiritual life.

Mystical City of God.
Posted by Aurora J. on Jul 15th 2022
I bought these books in 1990. Mine are very wore out from time and weather.
I'm retired and I'm still learning from these books.
How wonderful God and Our Holy Mother are. They never cease to reveal different secrets in these writings. God is Awesome.

Ave Maria!

Ave Maria! This is one of, if not THE greatest set of books on the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The books relate the entire life of the Blessed Virgin and I highly recommend this set to anyone who is looking to know more about the life and Our Lady and gain confidence in Her Motherly care and intercession. She is truly the most powerful advocate we have with God besides Jesus in His Sacred Humanity (which is God's Humanity).
