From our Gospel reading: ‘Yet wisdom is justified by all her children’.

St Ambrose commented: ‘“Therefore, wisdom is justified by all her children.” He fittingly says “by all,” because justice is preserved around all. In order that an acceptance of the faithful may happen, a rejection of the unbelieving must occur. Very many Greeks say this, “Wisdom is justified by all her works,” because the duty of justice is to preserve the measure around the merit of each …’

The ‘works’ of our hands are in a sense our ‘children’. We need to give heed to them, that they are worthy of Christ, the power and the wisdom of God’.

May we walk our path of life hand in hand with the Lord of life, and may He bless you this day.
