participation in these mystical dialogues, one may then truly claim to be
following in the footsteps of the Angelic Doctor.

Lastly, an analysis of four volumes of La Cité Mystique de Dieu presents the
doctoral student, professors of theology and theologians with a wide range of
topics for their research. For example, in reading the La Cité Mystique de Dieu,
69
one is presented with the myriad of difficulties encountered if one wishes to
enter through the narrow door, a topic worthy of consideration for theological
70
research given the challenges faced by the Church in the present times.

69 From divine justice (48 references), mercy (301 references), merit (222 references), Adam
(280 references) Lucifer and Satan (443 references), salvation (323 references), angels (1243
references), Incarnation (438 references), Joseph (593 references), Judas (163 references),
knowledge (517 references), love (1798 references) , charity (398 references), humility (598
references), intercession and mediation (123 references), power (764 references), prudence (180
references), spirit (359 references), sacraments (226 references), teacher (140 references),
understanding (253 references), virtue(s) (1040 references), to wisdom (539 references)
theologian and doctoral student has recourse to a plethora of topics which may be used to form

70 Lk13:24DR. “contendite intrare per angustam portam quia multi dico vobis quaerunt intrare
et non poterunt [...] strive to enter by the narrow gate: for many, I say to you, shall seek to enter
and shall not be able”; Cf: Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus Ágreda. The Mystical City of God: The
Coronation, 382. “If the pastors and the chiefs of the house of the Lord seek only a life of ease,
without caring to engage in true earnest labor, they will make themselves accountable for the
ruin of the flock of Christ and for the carnage brought on by the infernal wolves”; Cf. Venerable
Sister Mary of Jesus Ágreda. The Mystical City of God: The Coronation, 229-230. “I wish to draw
thee to deplore, with inmost groaning and sighing and, if possible, with tears of blood, the
difference between the state of the holy Church in our times and that of those primitive times;
how its purest gold of holiness has been obscured and the ancient beauty in which the Apostles
have founded it, is lost”; Cf. Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus Ágreda. The Mystical City of God:
The Coronation, 37. The Venerable Sister understood the Virgin to say, “Prepare and expand thy
heart, inflame thy will, purify thy understanding, and cast out from thy faculties every image and
impression of visible creatures. For thus will none of them interfere with thee, nor any of them
draw thee into venial sin or imperfections”.
