"Eternal Wisdom communicates to man ... holiness..."

[MariaChristi]

1. Eternal Wisdom communicates to man the great science of holiness as well as the natural sciences, and even the most secret ones when they are needed. “If anyone desires deep knowledge, eternal Wisdom knows the past and can forecast the future. He understands the subtleties of speech and the lessons of parables” (Wisd. 8:8). To Jacob He gave the science of the saints (Wisd. 10:10). To Solomon He gave a true knowledge of the whole of nature (Wisd. 7:17). He revealed to him countless secrets that no one before him had ever known (Wisd. 7:21).
2. From this infinite source of light the great Doctors of the Church, like St Thomas (as he himself testifies) drew that eminent knowledge for which they are renowned. Note that this enlightened understanding given by eternal Wisdom is not dry, barren and unspiritual, but radiating splendour, unction, vigour and devotion. It moves and satisfies the heart at the same time as it enlightens the mind.
3. (2) Wisdom gives man not only light to know the truth but also a remarkable power to impart it to others. “Wisdom has the voice to convey knowledge” (Wisd. 1:7). Wisdom knows what we want to say and communicates to us the art of saying it well, for “He opened the mouths of those who were dumb and made the tongues of babies eloquent” (Wisd. 10:21). He cured Moses of his impediment of speech (cf. Ex. 4:10-12). He imparted His words to the prophets, enabling them “to root up and to pull down, to destroy and to demolish, to build and to plant” (Jer. 1:10), although they acknowledged that left to themselves they could speak no better than children (Jer. 1:6). It was eternal Wisdom who gave the apostles the facility they had to preach the gospel everywhere and to proclaim the wonderful works of God (Acts 2:11). “He made their mouths a real treasury of words.” Since eternal Wisdom is the Word of God throughout time and eternity, He has never ceased speaking and by His Word everything was made and everything was restored (cf. Jn. 1:3-13). He spoke through the mouths of the prophets and apostles (Cf. No. 47) and He will go on speaking through the mouths of those to whom He gives Himself until the end of time. ( from Chap. 8 in “The Love of Eternal Wisdom” by St. Louis de Montfort.)

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Let us praise and thank God for our Baptism, which gave us a share in His Divine Life and we began our journey to heaven. Let us by His Grace, continually ask, seek and knock on the door that He may open to us and increase in us His Gift of Wisdom, which perfects Charity – that we may grow in holiness! Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Dear Trishie – all thanks to Jesus through Mary, for everything!!!

Would that I could do more – as St. Louis de Montfort wrote in his treatise on “True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin”:

13. My heart has dictated with special joy all that I have written to show that Mary has been unknown up till now, and that that is one of the reasons why Jesus Christ is not known as he should be.

If then, as is certain, the knowledge and the kingdom of Jesus Christ must come into the world, it can only be as a necessary consequence of the knowledge and reign of Mary. She who first gave him to the world will establish his kingdom in the world.
