Description

In the year 1626, when Mary was praying for the Institute in St Mark's Church in Rome, God reminded her interiorly of the word of Christ: 'Can you drink the chalice that I shall drink?', showing her what great adversities, persecutions and trials she would have to encounter in accomplishing His holy will. She joyfully declared herself ready to accept everything.

The Scene

Mary Ward with two companions and many other people in various modes of prayer.

The church is San Marco in Piazza Venezia, a very central church in Rome.

It is quite close to her home - possibly a 'visit' when returning from the Jesuit Church of St Ignatius or Il Gesu.
