Sought wisdom openly in prayer

“When I was young and innocent, I sought wisdom openly in my prayer. I prayed for her before the temple, and I will seek her until the end, and she flourished as a grape soon ripe.” (SIR 51: 13-15)

This most unique gift, the first and the highest gift of the Holy Spirit, is so important for us. It gives us an intimate relationship and understanding of God’s word and His commandments. Wisdom helps us to love properly with all respect to God and His creatures.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; giving thanks to God the Father through him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
