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
Saint Paul prayed for the Ephesians, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation resulting in knowledge of him.” (Ephesians 17:1)
We pray today to find wisdom in the tumult and tension of the times. Each Wednesday, we seek the wisdom of witnesses to the world of faith, culture and politics.
