The Love of Eternal Wisdom 978-1-953152-99-2
This classic work of the missionary and mystic, Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort, written in the 16th century reveals the deep love and power of Wisdom for today's readers to fully navigate all the stages of our existence. Montfort's words are a true lectio divina of the Wisdom Books and also offer us concrete means to acquire Wisdom.
St. Louis de Montfort's The Love of Eternal Wisdom is a profound spiritual work that explores the relationship between divine wisdom and the soul's journey toward God. De Montfort presents Eternal Wisdom as Christ Himself, the source of all truth, love, and holiness. He emphasizes that true wisdom is not found in worldly knowledge or material success but in a deep, intimate love for God.
One of the key themes of the book is the contrast between divine and earthly wisdom. While the world values power, wealth, and prestige, divine wisdom calls for humility, self-denial, and love of the Cross. Montfort teaches that those who seek Eternal Wisdom must imitate Christ in His suffering, embracing trials with faith and trust.
