For every soul. "Obedience is the subjection of our will, inducing us to do the will of our superior in preference to our own. Our free will is so estimable, that this virtue is admirable and excellent above all the moral virtues; for the sacrifice is greater than in any other." ~ Venerable Mary of Agreda, 'Mystical City of God,' Vol. I, 561
MARY, THE MOTHER OF BEAUTIFUL LOVE AND HOLY HOPE
"On this account the Holy Ghost calls Her 'The Mother of Beautiful Love and Holy Hope' (Eccli. 25, 24); for just as she became the Mother of Christ because she furnished Him with the flesh of His body, so the Holy Ghost made Her the Mother of Hope, because by her especial concurrence and cooperation she conceived and brought forth this virtue for the faithful of the Church.
"Her prerogative of being the Mother of Holy Hope was connected with and consequent upon Her being the Mother of Jesus Christ our Lord, for she knew that in her Son she would lay the foundation of all the security of our hope.
"On account of these conceptions and births of the most holy Queen, she obtained a certain dominion and sovereignty over those graces and the promises of the Most High, which depended upon the death of Christ, her Son, for their fulfillment.
"When she of her own free will gave conception and birth to the incarnate Word she turned them all over to us and thereby gave birth to our hope.
"Thus was accomplished in its legitimate sense that which the Holy Ghost said to Her: 'Thy plants are a paradise' (Cant. 4, 13) ; for all that came forth from Mary, the Mother of Grace, was to constitute our happiness, our paradise, and our certain hope of being able to attain them."
~ Venerable Mary of Agreda, 'Mystical City of God,' Vol. I, 511

The full script including all six Parts is expected to be 300 pages long.
"She (Mary) knew more of Him than any other creature and more than all of them together; and according to her knowledge she rendered due honor, teaching even the Seraphim how to reverence Him." ~ Venerable Mary of Agreda, 'Mystical City of God,' Vol. I, 562
"By My Holy Face you will work wonders,
appease the anger of God, and draw down mercy on sinners."
~ Jesus to Sr. Mary of St. Peter
