The Gift of Wisdom

The readings for today’s Mass teach us about the seventh Gift of the Holy Ghost - wisdom. Our Lord has warned us that our path will be difficult, but He has also assured us of His help. Parents must combat the pagan principles being instilled in their children. Even within those of the elderly population, who should be wiser, we find misplaced priorities and worldly ambition. We must be willing to make sacrifices to reach Heaven, as we remain vigilant in avoiding false guides. We must never do the work of God for ourselves.
