“Hail, light that is born in an inexpressible way,
Hail, you who have revealed to no one ‘how’ your mystery is,
Hail, you who surpass the knowledge of all the wise,
Hail, you who enlighten the minds of the faithful.
Hail, Virgin Bride…” /from the Akathist/
Teach me, Prudent Virgin, to distinguish
what is important from what is unimportant;
what is necessary from what is unnecessary;
what builds up from what tears down;
what draws me closer to God from what distances me from Him;
what I can do from what I cannot do, etc., etc.
May your prudence, Mary, and your wisdom in life be a guide and help to me in making good decisions in the light of faith.
Prudent Virgin—pray for us
