GRM 196.4 · Volume 3
My Mother had dedicated Herself to virginity for love. But, since She was a perfect creature, maternity was in Her blood and spirit. Because woman is created to be a mother and it is an aberration, if she is deaf to such sentiment, which is love of second power…
On the different powers of love, seeEMV 196.4-6.
GRM 196.7 · Volume 3
It was not easy to see Mary every day, as She lived mostly at home, where She loved a little grotto more than any other place, and even nowadays She calls it “the grotto of Her nuptials”. So when She appeared outside, fair-haired, rosy and kind, She was overwhelmed by caresses. They used to call Her “the Flower of Nazareth” or “the Pearl of Galilee” or also “the Peace of God” in remembrance of a huge rainbow, which suddenly appeared as soon as She was born. She was in fact all that, and much more. She is the Flower of Heaven and of creation, the Pearl of Paradise and the Peace of God… Yes, the Peace of God. I am the Peaceful One because I am the Son of the Father and the Son of Mary: the Infinite Peace and the sweet Peace.
During the Virgin Mary's childhood, in Nazareth.

«Did Joachim and Anne know that She was the chosen Virgin?» asks Judas Iscariot.
«No, they did not know.»
«In that case, how could Joachim say that God had saved Her in advance? Does that not refer to Her privilege over sin?»
«Yes, it does. But Joachim spoke inspired by God, like all the prophets. He himself did not understand the sublime supernatural truth that the Spirit spoke through his lips. Because Joachim was just. So just as to deserve that paternity. And he was humble. There is no justice where there is pride. He was just and humble. He comforted his Daughter out of fatherly love. He taught her through his wisdom of a priest, as he was such as a guardian of the Ark of God. As a Pontiff he consecrated Her with the sweetest title: “The Immaculate One”. And the day will come when another grey haired Pontiff will say to the world: “She is the Immaculate Conception” and will give this truth to the world of believers, as a dogma which cannot be rejected, so that the Most Beautiful Virgin of God, crowned with stars, clad with the rays of the moon, which are not so pure as She is, brighter than all stars, the Queen of Creation and of God, may shine, fully revealed, in the world which in those days will be sinking deeper and deeper in the grey fog of heresies and vices. Because God-King has as His Queen, in His Kingdom, Mary.»
«So Joachim was a prophet?»
«He was a just man. His soul repeated like an echo what God said to his soul which was loved by God.»
The Dogma of the Immaculate Conception was proclaimed by Pius IX on December 8, 1854 with the bull Ineffabilis Deus. It was an age-old subject of controversy, and one of the reasons for the fierce opposition of established theology to Maria de Ágreda, who expressed this revelation in her visions.
(...) The All-Beautiful of God, crowned with stars, clothed with the rays of the moon less pure than herself, and supported by the stars, the Queen of the created and the uncreated; for, in his Kingdom, God-King has Mary as his Queen. Cf. Revelation 12:1-2.
Book of Revelation 12, 1-2
Ap 12, 1-2 : "A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and cried out in labor and the pains of childbirth."
