Wisdom

Mark 7:14-23


Is wisdom today a scarce commodity?  All people can have the gift of wisdom as Solomon has.

Let's start with the the conventional definitions of wisdom.  It is knowledge gained by experience.  Life itself is a school where we learn the lessons of life.  We need the grace of the Lord to show us the way.

Wisdom is also the natural ability to understand.

In order to gain wisdom we need the following: knowledge, the heart to discern, and the right judgement untainted by evil intentions.

In St. Ignatius' spirituality, he recommends that our decisions should be for the common good, for the salvation of others and for greater glory of God.  All these tie up harmoniously to produce good works on earth, the fruits of wisdom of God.
