"... we cannot but love Him and search for Him with all our strength..."

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

How truly St. Louis de Montfort " concludes Chap. 5 of “The Love of Eternal Wisdom”:

1. In the seventh chapter of the Book of Wisdom, the Holy Spirit speaks of the excellence of eternal Wisdom in these terms: "In Wisdom there is a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, fruitful, subtle, eloquent, active, unsullied, lucid, gentle, benevolent, keen, irresistible, beneficent, kindly, firm, unfailing, unperturbed, all- powerful, all-seeing, possessing every spirit, understandable, pure and subtle. For Wisdom is more active than any active thing. He is so pure He penetrates all things" (Wisd. 7:22-24). “Wisdom is an infinite treasure for men. Those who have utilised this treasure have become God’s friends, and praiseworthy for their gifts of knowledge”.

63 After reading such powerful but tender words which the Holy Spirit uses to show the beauty, the excellence and the treasures of eternal Wisdom, we cannot but love Him and search for Him with all our strength. All the more so since He is an inexhaustible source of riches for man who was made for Him and infinitely eager to give Himself to man.

The Book of Wisdom is made clearer in today’s Gospel:

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Whoever has My commandments and observes them is the one who loves Me. Whoever loves Me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal Myself to him.”

Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, “Master, then what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves Me will keep My word,
and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.

Whoever does not love Me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.

“I have told you this while I am with you.

The Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” - John 14:21-26

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your Faithful. Jesus, we trust in You! Mary, Mother of the Church and Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.
