Wisdom is vindicated by her works
Is 48,17-19; Ps 1,1-4.6; Mt 11,16-19.
14 DECEMBER
To know the wisdom that is in others it is necessary for it to live in us. The wisdom that is in us will always know the wisdom that is in others. This rule also applies to the Holy Spirit, the Father and Christ the Lord. The Father, the Spirit and Christ that are true in us will always know if the Father, Christ and the Spirit are confessed in others according to truth or falsehood. Whoever is devoid of the Spirit, of the Father and of Christ in their purity of truth might never know the Father, the Spirit and Christ Jesus that are outside of him, before him and in the purity of their truth. Who is the true temple of God will always know who in front of him is the true temple of God. Who is not the true temple of God, lacks the divine light with which alone he might know who true temple of God is. The generation of Jesus not only does not knows who John is and who Christ the Lord is, it does not even want to know them. It does everything to not know them. It is of course a non-guilty knowledge, because it is the result of bad will and perverse science. The Holy Scripture, after having revealed to us all the qualities that are in wisdom, teaches telling us that nothing is known without the wisdom of the Lord. We know that our God always grants it to those who ask for it with a pure and humble heart.
For in her is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, Not baneful, loving the good, keen, unhampered, beneficent, kindly, Firm, secure, tranquil, all-powerful, all-seeing, And pervading all spirits, though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle. For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion, and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity. For she is an aura of the might of God and a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nought that is sullied enters into her. For she is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God, the image of his goodness. And she, who is one, can do all things, and renews everything while herself perduring; And passing into holy souls from age to age, she produces friends of God and prophets. For there is nought God loves, be it not one who dwells with Wisdom. For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every constellation of the stars. Compared to light, she takes precedence; for that, indeed, night supplants, but wickedness prevails not over Wisdom (Wis 7,23-30). Send her forth from your holy heavens and from your glorious throne dispatch her That she may be with me and work with me, that I may know what is your pleasure. For she knows and understands all things, and will guide me discreetly in my affairs and safeguard me by her glory; Thus my deeds will be acceptable, and I shall judge your people justly and be worthy of my father’s throne. For what man knows God’s counsel, or who can conceive what our Lord intends? For the deliberations of mortals are timid, and unsure are our plans. For the corruptible body burdens the soul and the earthen shelter weighs down the mind that has many concerns. And scarce do we guess the things on earth, and what is within our grasp we find with difficulty; but when things are in heaven, who can search them out? Or who ever knew your counsel, except you had given Wisdom and sent your holy spirit from on high? And thus were the paths of those on earth made straight, and men learned what was your pleasure, and were saved by Wisdom (Wis 9, 10-18).
Jesus is about to come. His works must necessarily make us know his truth. We must necessarily affirm that He is the Divine and Human Different. If we do not make this difference, we are guilty before God and men. Every man is obliged by reason of his humanity to confess that in Jesus there has never been anything unjust. He worked perfect justice. He never knew evil.
“To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they said, ‘He is possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said, ‘Look, he is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is vindicated by her works.”
Faith begins with the confession of the justice of Jesus in all his works. Every man is a sinner. He is the Holy one of God. Every man does evil. Jesus knew only the good. It is a difference that must be made. Who is honest does it. He is obliged by his honesty.
Mother of God, Angels and Saints ensure that the whole world confesses the righteousness of Jesus.
