Wisdom Wednesdays
Catholic Perspectives on Faith, Culture, and Politics
Resplendent and unfading is Wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her,” Book of Wisdom, 6:12
We pray, as Saint Paul prayed for the Ephesians, that you may receive “a spirit of wisdom and revelation.” Visit with us each Wednesday as we seek the wisdom of many witnesses to the whirl of faith, culture and politics. May God be with us!
