Dear Faculty and Staff,
“Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her. She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their desire.” (Wisdom 6:12-13)
Wisdom in the light of the Lord is not a natural gift to everyone. It must be desired. It must be sought. If one does not acknowledge their need for wisdom from God, then it may never come. But, when desired and sought, “she graciously appears to them in their paths, and meets them in every thought” (Wisdom 6:16).
O God of wisdom, you call us to keep watch for the coming of Christ. Grant us the wisdom to await him, to recognize him in his coming, and to prefer him above all else.
For God my flesh pines and my soul thirsts,
Ms. Danielle Gonzalez
