Live for Wisdom: Live for Jesus

Live for Wisdom: Live for Jesus The way of living that the Lord presents to us brings a certain joy to our hearts. In the first reading, which is not included in this audio, we learn about someone who highly values God’s Wisdom and devotes themselves to seeking it, even to the point of experiencing torment in the pursuit. It may seem strange that there is torment despite the presence of joy. If it brings joy, why is there torment? Have you ever felt genuine thirst or hunger? When your throat is parched and burning, you desperately seek water to alleviate the pain. However, there is a certain torment that accompanies this experience—the agony of needing and lacking. This is the torment referred to in the first reading. But let’s consider the nature of this torment. Just like a deep thirst, the author of the first reading is saying, “That’s how my heart feels. That’s my mind. That’s my spirit without your Wisdom, Lord! I am hungry and thirsty like that, desiring to know how to live rightly.” It is essential for us to grasp the spiritual significance of this. You can learn more about it in the Homily. When I discover Wisdom, it transforms me. It is a more profound relief than the splash of water on a parched throat because now I realize that I am no longer in need. The joy of possessing Wisdom fills me. However, merely searching for Wisdom is not sufficient. Merely finding Wisdom is not enough. One must live according to Wisdom. But how can we do that? Listen to this meditation media called “Live for Wisdom: Live for Jesus” io gain a deeper understanding.
