"The Book of Wisdom" in "The Love of Eternal Wisdom" (May 14)

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Continuing Chap. 4, in the treatise on “The Love of Eternal Wisdom”, we read:

1. This is how the Holy Spirit tells it in the tenth chapter of the Book of Wisdom (Wisd. 10:1-21).
2. It was Wisdom who safeguarded Adam, the first man, created alone to be the father of all men.
3. He rescued him from his sin and gave him power to control and rule over all things.
4. When the sinful Cain in anger withdrew from Wisdom, he perished because through his fury he became the murderer of his brother.
5. When the Deluge flooded the earth, because of him, it was Wisdom again who saved it, piloting the just man Noah in a frail wooden ark.
6. When the nations conspired together to do evil, Wisdom discerned the just man, Abraham, preserved him in innocence before God and kept him resolute in overcoming the pity he felt for his son, Isaac.
7. Wisdom rescued the righteous man, Lot, when he fled from the company of wicked men who perished as fire descended upon the Five Cities.
8. Evidence of their wickedness still remains - a smoking wasteland, plants bearing fruit that never ripen, and a pillar of salt standing as a monument to an unbelieving soul.
9. For those who neglected to see Wisdom were not only kept from knowledge of good, but they also left to mankind a memorial of their folly, and so their crime could never remain hidden.

How very important it is for us, to listen to God’s Word! How very important it is for us to pray to the Holy Spirit to hear truly what God is telling us and to do the Truth we hear, lovingly. This is what our Mother Mary did on earth. The Gospel of Luke testifies:

And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart. (Luke 2:19)

…His mother kept all these things in her heart. (Luke 2:51)

Thanks, dear Greenfields, for your “heart” to let me know you read and liked the post and hopefully you also liked the artist’s portrait of Mary , shining with the Light of the Holy Spirit and letting His Light radiate from her to us.

Our Lady of Light, spouse of the Holy Spirit, pray for us. Jesus, Divine Wisdom Incarnate, we trust in You! Mary, Mother and Model for the Church, intercede for all God’s children.
