When you search on the Internet for the word “Wisdom” part of the definition that comes up is: the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment. Our reading today tell us of the importance of using good judgment and knowledge when we make decisions. To emphasize the need for wisdom, Jesus gives us the parable of the ten virgins that reinforces this need. Will we be like the five virgins who are not ready when the Lord comes for them? Will our decisions have been unwise; without prudence and Christian discernment?
The Book of Wisdom reminds us that if we search for wisdom, she will be waiting for us. She will take away our apprehension and will guide us with prudence in our decisions. This is never more important than today when we have so many different sources trying to influence the decisions we make. Some sources will be helpful but never forget our discernment in decision making must include the teachings of Jesus guided by the Holy Spirit and the Church.
