Memorial of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini, Virgin.

A reading from the book of wisdom.

In Wisdom is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique.

Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, not baneful, loving the good, keen, unhampered,

beneficent, kindly, firm, secure, tranquil, all powerful, all seeing, and pervading all spirits, though they be intelligent,

pure and very subtle. For wisdom is mobile, beyond all motion, and she penetrates and

pervades all things by reason of her purity. For she is an aura of the might of God,

and a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty.

Therefore, not that is Sallied enters into her.

For she is the refulgence of eternal light,

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 purduing.

And passing into holy souls from age to age,

she produces friends of God and prophets.

For there is not God loves,

be it not one who dwells with wisdom.

For she is fairer than the sun

and surpasses every constellation of the stars.

Compared to light, she takes precedence.

For that indeed night supplants.

But wickedness prevails not over wisdom.
