Wisdom
"Oh, come, our Wisdom from on high,
Who ordered all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
and teach us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!"
We pray for wisdom
And sometimes we get it in the form of saints:
Mahatma, Martin, Nelson
The wise ones rise from oppression and torture
And somehow preach forgiveness and reconciliation
Showing us that revenge is not God's way.
Wisdom is:
Loving your enemy
Knowing how to be a servant leader
Showing respect and learning from those with whom we disagree
Wholeness
I give thanks to you God, for the witness of Nelson Mandela. Where do I need to use more wisdom in my life and work?
