Gloriosa virgo Maria inuocata eciam a vilissimis peccatoribus ministrat adiutorium, vt ostenditur in anima cuiusdam peccatoris participante de mensa pietatis eiusdem virginis.
The Boundless Mercy of the Mother
Mary declares that no sinner is too lowly or defiled to receive her healing touch and compassionate assistance.
Mary says: "There is no sinner so great, nor anyone so caught up in such vile work, that if they call upon me for help, I won't assist them." For what work is more lowly than treating a scabbed head? If anyone calls on me, I’ll provide help so they can be cleansed. And yet, what is more lowly or filthy than the tool used to shovel manure out of a stable and onto a cart? If anyone calls on me, I'll provide help. Yet what is more humble than washing the sores of a leper? I don't disdain to touch, anoint, and heal the wounds of anyone who calls on me.
A Plea for the Lost Soul
The visionary intercedes on behalf of a specific soul, appealing to Mary's known kindness and power.
The bride replied, "O most holy Lady, I know that you are most humble, most powerful, and most kind." Help that soul for whom I have asked you so many times!"
The Cleansing of a Soul
Mary reveals the spiritual state of the soul in question, detailing its past attachments and its current path toward purification through her mercy.
The Mother answered, "That soul had three things in its life." It wanted to possess the world, but the world didn't want to possess it. Second, it loved its own flesh through incontinence, because it refused to enter into marriage. Third, she didn't love God as much as she should have, even though she remained steady in the faith. She has now been freed from these things, and she constantly partakes from the dish of my mercy. There are still some remnants left, and once she is cleansed of them, she'll be set free all the sooner.
Read the original Latin
Maria loquitur: "Nullus est tantus peccator nec in tam vili opere positus, quin, si inuocauerit me in adiutorium, ego iuuabo eum. Quod enim opus est vilius quam curare caput scabiosum?
Si quis inuocauerit me, ego ministrabo adiutorium, vt mundetur. Quid vero vilius instrumento illo aut sordidius, quo crassitudo terre eicitur de stabulo super currum?
Si quis inuocauerit me, ego iuuabo eum. Quid vero vilius est quam lauare plagas leprosi? Quicumque inuocauerit me, ego non dedignor tangere et vngere et sanare plagas suas."
Respondit sponsa: "O sanctissima domina, scio, quia humillima et potentissima et benignissima es. Iuua animam illam, pro qua te tociens rogaui!"
Respondit mater: "Illa anima tria habuit in vita sua. Voluit enim habere mundum, sed mundus noluit habere eum. Secundo dilexit carnem suam per incontinenciam, quia noluit venire ad coniugium.
Tercio minus dilexit Deum, quam debuit, licet stabilis in fide fuit. Ab hiis modo liberata est et iugiter participatur de scutella mense pietatis mee. Adhuc quedam restant perismata, a quibus purgata cicius liberabitur."
