WEEKLY REFLECTION
The Treasure of Wisdom
10-13-2024 | Fr. Augustine Acheme, VCThis Sunday’s readings invite us to reflect on what we truly value in life. The pursuit of wisdom, the power of God’s Word, and the challenge of letting go of material possessions for the sake of the kingdom are at the heart of the message.
In the first reading, we hear of the beauty of wisdom: “I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne” (Wis 7:7-8). Wisdom is more valuable than riches, power, or even physical beauty because it leads to true understanding and fulfillment. It reminds us that the treasures of this world pale in comparison to the gift of divine wisdom.
