O Sapientia – 17 December
699
The text of today‘s antiphon is
O Wisdom, who came forth from the mouth of the Most High, reaching from one end to the other, powerfully and sweetly ordering all things: come to teach us the way of prudence.
Jesus, the Word or Wisdom of God, is like a bridge reaching from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven. We are invited to journey towards our Father by stepping on this bridge and following where it leads. Walking this ‘way of prudence’ helps to make the kingdom of God visible in our time. The one who utters the invitation is none less than the Messiah himself.
