GRM 9.2
The books of wisdom may be applied to all men, who will find guidance in them and a light for their behaviour. But happy are those who can be recognised amongst the spiritual lovers of Wisdom.
There are five wisdom books in the Bible: Proverbs - Ecclesiastes (Qohelet) - Song of Songs - Job - Wisdom (of Solomon) - Ecclesiasticus (Sirach).
GRM 38.8
« (...) What will Jesus say, when He sees His Mummy busy with others? What do you say, Jesus?»
«I say: ‘Happy are those who listen to Her and build their dwelling near Hers’. As for Wisdom, happy are those who are My Mother’s friends, and I am happy that those whom I love are Her friends.»
GRM 54.8
Blessed are those who are sincere and persistent in their will. You are all blessed. You are more than relatives to Me, because you are My children and My brothers, not according to the blood, that dies, but according to the will of God and to your spiritual wishes. Now I tell you that I have no closer relative than those who do the will of My Father, and you do it, because you want what is good.»
The vision ends in this way.

Jesus is on the Horns of Hattin. The crowd is now present, and Christ begins to speak to them. They asked him what the Kingdom of God is, what God is, and how to conquer Heaven, and Jesus patiently answered them, inviting them in particular to follow the Law and to love. Then Jesus talks about the gifts God had given Adam and Eve. In particular, the Lord speaks of the soul, the natural gifts of beauty, integrity, intelligence and will, as well as moral gifts and the submissiveness of the senses and reason. He goes on to speak of sanctifying grace, which is the "life of the soul": God shines in his creature and wants us to be with him in Heaven. In fact, Jesus speaks of the immortality of the soul, and states that he will erase the sin of original sin and restore grace to us.
The second part of his speech is about how to conquer Heaven. After pointing out that the Law exists, he encourages souls not to see the path to holiness in terms of threat ("woe is me if I don't do this"), but in terms of love ("blessed would I be if I did this"). He then goes on to set out the Beatitudes, developing them one by one, before bringing his speech to a close.
