Pentecost! "The Love of Eternal Wisdom" Chap.10

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

How Providential to celebrate this Feast while reading St. Louis de Montfort’s book on “The Love of Eternal Wisdom!”:

CHAPTER TEN

THE CAPTIVATING BEAUTY AND THE INEXPRESSIBLE GENTLENESS OF INCARNATE WISDOM

1. As the divine Wisdom became man only to stir the hearts of men to love and imitate Him, He took pleasure in gracing His human nature with every kind of quality, especially an endearing gentleness and a kindness without any defect or blemish.
2. If we consider Him in His origin He is everything that is good and gentle. He is a gift sent by the love of the eternal Father and a product of the love of the Holy Spirit. He was given out of love and fashioned by love (Jn. 3:16). He is therefore all love, or rather the very love of the Father and the Holy Spirit. He was born of the sweetest, tenderest and the most beautiful of all mothers, Mary, the divinely favoured Virgin. To appreciate the gentleness of Jesus we must first consider the gentleness of Mary, his Mother, whom He resembles by His pleasing nature. Jesus is Mary’s child; consequently there is no haughtiness, or harshness, or unpleasantness in Him and even less, infinitely less, in Him than in his Mother, since He is the eternal Wisdom and therefore pure gentleness and beauty.

Come Holy Spirit! Fill the hearts of Your Faithful! Mary, Mother of Jesus and our Mother, pray for us. Jesus we trust in You.

Dear Divine 3,

Thanks again for your “heart”, which is evidence to me of your own Love for Jesus through Mary! On this beautiful Feast of Pentecost let us remember the Family of God was given to Mary and Mary to the Family of God by Jesus on Calvary.

Every Family needs a Mother and from all eternity God knew Mary would be our Mother in Faith, and so we see the Holy Spirit descending upon her as Mother and Model of the Church. She is there with the disciples to receive the Power on High promised by Jesus, for the Church to set forth in Christ and be His Light in the World, as Jesus promised.

O Jesus, living in Mary, come and live in Your servants, in the spirit of Your holiness, in the fullness of Your power, in the perfection of Your ways, in the Truth of Your virtues, in the communion of Your mysteries. Rule over every adverse power, in Your Spirit, for the glory of the Father. Amen. – Prayer of Father Jean Jacques Olier, S.S. (1608-1657)
