Wisdom of the Ages!  

8/3/24  

Think with the Intimacy of God  
The purest thought of Wisdom and Grace  
Feel and breathe the supernatural goodness, truth, and beauty of God, 

 in His Wisdom and His Wonder  
Love with the love of Divinity  
Hearts on Fire with Joy and Serenity  
Peace and Simplicity and Divine Love  
Truth and Love in Divine intimacy with 

 God the Father, 

 God the Son,   

and God the Holy Spirit!
On earth as it is in Heaven
Come, O Spirit of Wisdom, draw me!

1 Corinthians 6:17  
“But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.”

Romans 11:33
“O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! 

How incomprehensible are his judgments, 

and how unsearchable his ways!”

Prayer To The Holy Spirit By St. Augustine
Breathe in me O Holy Spirit, 

 that my thoughts may all be holy. 

 Act in me O Holy Spirit, 

that my work, too, may be holy. 

Draw my heart O Holy Spirit,   

that I love but what is holy. 

 Strengthen me O Holy Spirit, 

 to defend all that is holy.

As Wisdom increases, so also charity and the unitive forces of the soul!
Peace abounds when we seek always the Wisdom and the Will of God!


Ecclesiastes 9:11-18 (DR)  
“I turned me to another thing, 

and I saw that under the sun, 

 the race is not to the swift, 

 nor the battle to the strong,   

nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the learned, 

 nor favour to the skilful:   

but time and chance in all. 

Man knoweth not his own end: 

 but as fishes are taken with the hook, 

 and as birds are caught with the snare,   

so men are taken in the evil time, 

when it shall suddenly come upon them. 

 This wisdom also I have seen under the sun, 

and it seemed to me to be very great: 

 A little city, and few men in it: 

there came against it a great king, 

and invested it, and built bulwarks round about it, 

 and the siege was perfect. 

 Now there was found in it a man poor and wise, 

 and he delivered the city by his wisdom,   

and no man afterward remembered that poor man. 

 And I said that wisdom is better than strength:

how then is the wisdom of the poor man slighted, 

and his words not heard? 

The words of the wise are heard in silence, 

 more than the cry of a prince among fools.”  

“Better is wisdom, than weapons of war: 

and he that shall offend in one,

shall lose many good things.”
