 Mary, Seat of Wisdom, Pray for us!

Welcome to the home of Seat of Wisdom, an online theological and pastoral journal, published by the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Huntington, NY.

Current Issue

The early Church applied the devotional title Seat of Wisdom (Sedes Sapientiae) to Mary, likening her to the throne of Solomon who was famed for wisdom. Likewise, many images may be found in Church tradition that depict the Christ child seated on Mary's lap as she sits on a throne. Her role as Mother of the Word Incarnate and the Wisdom of God makes her an icon of all endeavors to know and comprehend the Wisdom of God. As a Seminary and a House of Mary, we dedicate this Journal to Mary, Seat of Wisdom, and seek her intercession to aid and enlighten this and all our endeavors.
