On November 23, 1957, in the apparition of Our Lady of America, Mary revealed a striking image to Sr. Mary Ephrem that was different than usual. She appeared with a transparent divine light being diffused within her heart. Then, above her head, in gold letters, there was a scroll that reads:

“All the glory of the King’s Daughter is within.”

Upon these words, Our Lady would declare:

“I am Our Lady of the Divine Indwelling, handmaid of Him Who dwells within.”

The “King’s daughter,” is Mary. She is holy and pure, glorious and lovely, in her “heart” and she is arrayed in the richest apparel of gold. Within her being, Mary held the Most Holy Trinity. In her humble humanity, she accepted God’s divinity, and thus united herself perfectly to the Will of God. Through her, God revealed His plan for the latter-times: to renew the face of the earth by bringing all humanity to live in the Divine Will, as Our Lady perpetually did in the FIAT: “Let it be done to me according to Your Word” (Luke 1:38).

“All the glory of the king’s daughter is within,” highlights the great “yes” of our Blessed Mother because it was through her perfect obedience to God that Christ was born into the world. “All the glory of the king’s daughter” emphasizes her role as the Immaculate Tabernacle of God. Mary is the daughter of the Father, the mother of the Son, and the spouse of the Holy Spirit. Mary’s unity with the Trinity extends beyond human knowledge and understanding, but it is in loving and honoring Mary, that we can truly begin to grasp the love of God.
