The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, is the epitome of this self-emptying, self-giving ordination to the life and light of the Divine Word.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eMary is not Wisdom but the Seat of Wisdom; she is not Life but the enclosed garden in which the river of Life springs up. In her, as in the Church, it is always Jesus we meet. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e(\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMaurice Zundel)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTranslated into English by F.
