The Transfixion written by the Venerable Mary of Agreda's The Mystical City of God in the 1660s, chronicles the intense spiritual and physical sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary during Christ's public ministry, Passion, and Death. The text emphasizes Mary's role as co-sufferer, detailing her inner participation in the crucifixion and her subsequent support of the early Church following the Ascension.
The Transfixion serves as the profound, sorrowful climax of Venerable Mary of Jesus of Ágreda’s The Mystical City of God. Representing Volume IV (Books 7 and 8), this section chronicles the Passion, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ, culminating in the Assumption and Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary as Queen of Heaven.The title refers to the literal and spiritual "piercing" of Mary’s heart, fulfilling Simeon's prophecy and positioning her as the co-suffering witness to the Redemption.
