"The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of long ago.  Ages ago I was set up, at the first, before the beginning of the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there were no springs abounding with water.  Before the mountains had been shaped, before the hills, I was brought forth" Proverbs 8:22-25

Splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity.  
O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my mother.  
Queen of Heaven and Earth I humbly beseech you to succor me in this necessity.  
None can withstand your power.
O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

"It is essential for us to confess that the holy Ever-Virgin Mary is actually Theotokos (Birth-giver of God), so as not to fall into blasphemy. For those who deny that the Holy Virgin is actually Theotokos are no longer believers, but disciples of the Pharisees and Sadducees" (St. Ephraim the Syrian, "To John the Monk").

Sophia/ Wisdom:

Wisdom sings her own praises, before her own people she proclaims her glory; In the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth, in the presence of his hosts she declares her worth: "From the mouth of the Most High I came forth, and mist-like covered the Earth.  In the highest heavens did I dwell, my throne on a pillar of cloud (Sir 24: 1-4) 

• came  forth from the mouth of God (Sir 24:3), 

• created at the beginning before the earth was made (Prov 8:22-23), 

• is ever at God’s side (Prov 1:18), 

• was active in creation (Wis 9:9), 

• is a mediator of creation (Wis 8:5-6), 

• a ruler over kings who is all powerful and permeates the cosmos (Wis 7:23, 27; 8:1,5), 

• leads people to life and immortality (Wis 6:18-19), 

• resides in heaven as the glory of God (Wis 7:25-26), 

• shares the very throne of God (Wis 9:3), 

• is the vine and stream of water (Sir 24:17,28) 

• who offers living water (Sir 24:18,20) 

• to mankind, is a savior to humanity (Wis 9:18, 10:21, 10:9), 

• makes her dwelling/tabernacle in Jacob (Sir 24:8) 

• and will never cease to be (Sir 24:9).

• a prostitute who seeks to charm men as she cries out to men at the entrance of town (Proverbs 7, 8).  

• promises to love those who love her (Prov. 8:18).  

• draws men to herself and has laid out a banquet table and sent her servant-girls to call men to come to her and drink her wine (Prov 9:2-5).  

• described as having beauty (Wis 8:2) 

• and as worthy as a bride (Wis 8:2).  

• described as a sister and as a mother who teaches her children (Prov 8:32).  

Therefore, also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ so that this generation may be charged with the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be charged against this generation.
Luke 11:49-51  

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a Hen gathers Her brood under Her wings, and you were not willing. See, your house is left to you, desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’   Matthew 23:37-39:

Proverbs 8:32, Wisdom speaks to Her children, “And now my children, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways.”

Luke 7:33-35: For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Nevertheless, Wisdom is vindicated by all Her children.

Wisdom says:   “Come to me, you who desire me, and eat your fill of my fruits” Sirach 24:19: and Sirach 51:23: “Draw near to me, you who are uneducated, and lodge in the house of instruction.”

Take the yoke of of Wisdom upon you:  "Put your feet into Her fetters, and your shoulders and carry Her, and do not fret under Her bonds. For at last you will find the rest She gives, and She will be changed into joy for you. Then Her fetters will become for you a strong defense, and Her collar a glorious robe. Her yoke is a golden ornament, and Her bonds a purple robe."  Sirach 6:24-25, 28-30

Mary is the Seat of Wisdom

Litany of Loreto, 11th century. 
St. Augustine first to call Her Seat of Wisdom 
also Pope Pius IX

St. Bernard called Her Domus divinae Sapientiae (House of divine wisdom). 

 Odo (d.c.1200), a Benedictine Abbot of Battle Abbey: 

Philosophy is called the pursuit or love of wisdom. Mary is, therefore, the philosophy of Christians for whoever desires to find true Wisdom must direct his/her love and endeavor to Mary.  (Theotokos, 368)

Rerum naturae parens,
elementorum ominium domina, saeculorum progenies initialis, summa numinum,
regina manium,

deorum dearumque facies uniformis,
quae caeli luminosa culmina,
maris salubria flamina,
inferum deplorata silentia nutibus meis dispenso:
