“Hold her close, and she will make you great; embrace her, and she will be your pride; she will provide a graceful garland for your head, bestow a crown of honour on you.” Proverbs 4:8-9

Wisdom is a spirit. In the Bible Wisdom is referred to as a ‘lady’, most gracious, all-powerful, honourable and exalted. When we come to know our Blessed Mother more closely, we will find out that this spirit of wisdom is personified in her. If we win the Lord’s favour, we will receive the blessing to meet and converse with her. If we esteem her and are careful to obey her counsels, she will make us great, as she did with every saint.
