Jesus filled Mary with lights, one leading to the next. She saw Satan’s great darkness penetrating everywhere. Mary’s lights, however, penetrated the interior. Satan’s external darkness could not hold back this illumination of conscience which revealed all sins and stripped away the blindness.
All the world stood motionless to receive this gift. Then, normal life began again. But, how could life be called “normal”, when a great light had been planted offering to all an opportunity to repent? Three classes of people arose, those who repented because they accepted the light, those who did not understand and those who rejected the light, wanting to continue their sinful ways. Surprisingly, many who were not devout were deeply touched, while some with superficial piety did not accept the gift.
