Thought of the Day May 20, 2025 The Gift of Wisdom

By 10:20 AM

 There are many gifts of the Spirit which we received in Baptism and Confirmation. The ones given in Baptism---Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Piety and Fear of the Lord---are for our personal sanctification. and spiritual growth.  Are we tapping into these gifts? Wisdom enables us to perceive what is in the mind of God. Our human wisdom gives us human insight and awareness. The Gift of Wisdom gives us spiritual insight and awareness, leading us to a deeper union with God. Here is what St. Paul tells us: "We speak God’s wisdom, mysterious, hidden, which God predetermined before the ages for our glory...As it is written: 'What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love him,' this God has revealed to us through the Spirit." (1 Cor 2:7, 9-10) Ask God for the gift of wisdom, so that all you are and do is in the will of God.
