Wisdom is the refulgence of eternal life,
the spotless mirror of the power of God,
the image of his goodness.
And she, who is one, can do all things,
and renews everything while herself perduring;
And passing into holy souls from age to age,
she produces friends of God and prophets.
Book of Wisdom 7:26-27
Wisdom is the gift that enables a taste of eternal life to shine through us. Thus, we become friends of God and prophets. Being a friend of God goes hand in hand with being prophetic with our lives. Wisdom so saturates our being that with every step we take and every word we speak, God's' fragrance spills out and overflows.
Mary, Mother of Wisdom, pray for us!
