Who is "Wisdom"

[Evan]

Isn’t Mary the Seat of Wisdom and Spouse of the Holy Spirit? Wisdom is indeed feminine.

Wisdom is not feminine in English. It is in Hebrew and Greek.

Stewardess and Waitress are feminine in English, as are Georgette and Bernadette.

Most words in English are neutral declension.

…you are missing the point… it is not male vs. female… and the Virgin Mary could never be the Deposit of Divine Knowledge–her divinity remains as ours, raised into a likeness of God not to be God.

Though Mary may have been given the title of Seat of Wisdom this could not mean that she is a fourth person of God’s Divinity; rather it means that she was Blessed by God to Be the Vassal of the Word:

31 Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; 33 he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’

38 Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ (St. Luke 1:31-33, 38a)

Maran atha!
