Found above the altar in the Eucharistic Chapel, the Seat of Wisdom painting was done by world-renowned Catholic artist, writer and liturgical consultant, Ade Bethune.

Beginning in the Twelfth Century, in prayer and in litanies in honor of Mary, a number of titles are given her in praise of her close relationship with Eternal Wisdom: Mother of Wisdom, Fountain of Wisdom, House of Wisdom, Seat of Wisdom, of which the last became the most common.

Under this title the Blessed Virgin is honored in liturgical celebrations, in particular churches, in universities and religious institutes. The title "Seat of Wisdom" celebrates the maternal role of Mary, her royal dignity, and her incomparable wisdom and prudence in the things of God.
