+ The atmosphere of the Advent Season quickens
today as we begin the very focused
Liturgies centered around the exclamatory “O” Antiphons (located at the Magnificat of Evening Prayer in the
Divine Office) – but found again in the “Alleluia Verse” before the Gospel at
Mass each day.
Today we celebrate the WISDOM of our God Most High: (O Sapientia) O Wisdom, guiding creation with power and love: come to teach us
the path of knowledge.
The Wisdom is here, it is
God’s essence, his reality and also his gift to any who ask for it! All we have
to do is ask, all we have to do is to let it come to us, all we have to do is
to let it work in us, educate us –
and we shall trod the path of knowledge,
true knowledge, knowledge of the things that really matter: which are who God is, who we are, how we interrelate
with him, and how we ought to interact sensibly and lovingly with one another –
at all times.
May the path of knowledge and
the wisdom that it takes to attain it be granted to all of us especially in our
American society that is plagued with innumerable woes that only the higher
wisdom and knowledge of God can deal with successfully and permanently.
Justice
shall flourish in his time and fullness of peace forever!
