I give you a heart so wise and understanding

“Because you have asked for this—not for a long life for yourself, nor for riches, nor for the life of your enemies, but for understanding so that you may know what is right—I do as you requested. I give you a heart so wise and understanding that there has never been anyone like you up to now, and after you there will come no one to equal you.” (1 KGS 3: 11-12)

“The heart so wise and understanding” is a gift of God. We should pray for this kind of heart “so that you may know what is right.” When we pray for this, it is pleasing to God because Our Lord knows how difficult our lives can be and how desperately we need to know “what is right.” 

“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; for you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.” (Gospel Acclamation)
