Wisdom 7:22-8:1, Ps 119, Luke 17:20-25

Wisdom of the kingdom

Jesus is the Wisdom of God incarnate. His words and actions express the reign of God among us. He desires us to share in his beatitude of purity of heart – that we too might see God, to some extent even in this life. He has given us his own Spirit, a spirit of intelligence, holiness, action, benevolence, steadfastness; a spirit which makes all things new, which makes us friends of God, and prophets, loved by God. His Spirit, living and working in us, often in a hidden way, is bringing about his Kingdom minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
