PROVERBS 31:10, 25-26

A capable wife who can find?
   She is far more precious than jewels.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
   and she laughs at the time to come.
She opens her mouth with wisdom,
   and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

---- mine,

Model your life on My Mother, she is the Woman clothed with the sun with the moon at her feet and crowned with 12 stars. She is the Woman par excellence there is no creature created by God who can match her perfection. My Mother's greatest attributes are her humility, her docility to the will of God, and her submission to all He asked of her. She kept her gaze fixed on her Creator and not on her limitations, and her poverty. Her greatest strength came from recognizing that she was nothing before God and relied on Him to supply all her needs. This is why she was confident in a life of struggle. Her whole life was a hymn of praise, worship, adoration, and thanksgiving to God. She laughed in her difficulties for she kept her eye on the Lord and nestled in His bosom. She walked confidently knowing that she was the apple of God's eye and that God raised her from nothingness to be seated high above the rulers of the earth and above all the angels and saints beneath God alone. She loved God with her whole heart, mind, soul, and strength and her neighbor as herself. She kept the two great commandments to perfection. Learn from her. Pray to her. Stay close to her. Ask her to count you as one of her handmaids. Stay beside her always, ask her to cover you in her mantle and you will journey safely from this life to the next.
