SAPIENTIA
O Highest Wisdom, Come
REFLECTION:
The countdown is on. Each Sunday that passes in this season of Advent brings us one Sunday closer to our remembrance and celebration of Christmas. Hope begins to grow. Expectation and joy begin to increase. This only grows when we consider who Wisdom truly is: He is Christ, the Lord. The One who sits on heaven’s high throne. The One who gives all gifts for body and life, even for soul and eternity. The One who is the eternal Son of God, truly God and truly human being, in one person. Today, we learn another thing. He was there at the very beginning, creating this world together with the Father and the Spirit, delighting in what was being created and finding joy in us, the crown of God’s creation. He is Wisdom, the one who is delighted with us.
THE THIRD SUNDAY IN ADVENT
This Sunday, we see that Wisdom was not only there before the world was created but also at creation. He was constantly at the Father’s side, rejoicing in his presence and delighting in humankind.
ANTIPHON:
O Highest Wisdom, come.
While reaching end to end
In sweetness ordering all,
To us, O mighty Savior,
Discerning judgment teach.
PRAYER:
Lord God,
Fill our hearts with your love
And our minds with your wisdom
So that our actions will be pleasing to you.
May your peace, which surpasses all understanding,
Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, through your Holy Spirit. Amen.
See you Sunday!
