Part II of IV: Mary, The Cause of OUR Joy! The Lord Tells Us: You Will Know Your Joy, When You Know THE WOMAN. NOS CUM PROLE PIA BENEDICAT VIRGO MARIA (May the Virgin Mary bless us with her loving child) The opening portion of this conference explains the history and meaning of this Latin phrase. A phrase that was also important to St. Louis de Montfort. During the initial conference, a considerable amount of time was allocated to exploring the inherent human desire for happiness. It was conveyed that in the beginning, Adam and Eve resided in a state of bliss within paradise. The concept of paradise inherently embodies everlasting joy. Regrettably, humanity was led astray by malevolent forces, causing a forfeiture of this joy and severance from divine communion. Consequently, this loss led to the emergence of sorrow as an inheritance. Man, in isolation, is incapable of attaining complete joyfulness. THE WOMAN Left to his own devices, man would inevitably return to the dust, devoid of the experience of joy. Fortunately, the story’s culmination isn’t so bleak. This conference’s audio delves further into this narrative. In his dialogue with the Lord, Adam attributes his transgression to the woman who offered him the apple, thus leading him down the path of evil. In response, the Lord pledges to provide Adam with a new woman, a distinctive daughter. Humanity will be bestowed with a new woman, through whom the fruit of life will be bestowed. This is no ordinary woman—it is THE WOMAN. The profound significance of this revelation is expounded upon in the conference audio. The true embodiment of joy transcends mere emotion, state of being, or circumstance; it manifests as a person. The genuine joy that resonates within the human heart and spirit is embodied in Jesus Christ. Ultimately, the heart’s purpose is to forge a connection with the Lord, cultivating a sense of communion. The authentic paradise for which the human heart yearns extends beyond a physical location; it finds its fulfillment in the Lord. Therefore, it is crucial to heed the Lord’s words. When the Lord introduces THE WOMAN, a profound statement is being made. Your comprehension of joy will be complete when you come to know THE WOMAN. In this conference, we also hear about what the Lord means, via St. Luke, IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME and how this relates to The Cause of Our Joy.
