Monday of week 7 in Ordinary Time
First reading Ecclesiasticus 1:1-10
The passage reveals the profound truth that wisdom is not merely a human achievement but a divine gift, generously offered by God to all of humanity. It emphasizes that wisdom existed before all things, flowing directly from the Creator, who alone comprehends its depth and fullness. This wisdom is not reserved for the elite or the learned but is accessible to all who seek God with love and reverence. It is through a heart open to God’s presence that one begins to grasp the richness of His wisdom—a wisdom that enlightens the mind, guides actions, and fosters a life rooted in truth and goodness. In a world often captivated by fleeting knowledge and shallow understanding, this passage calls us back to the source of all wisdom, reminding us that only in loving and fearing God can we truly align our lives with His divine order and experience the fullness of life He intends for us. Let’s reflect: How open am I to receiving God’s gift of wisdom, and do I truly seek it by loving and revering Him in my daily life?
