Oh God of eternal wisdom, in today’s first reading the Scripture is taken from the Book of Wisdom and holds me in awe. In the Sacrament of Confirmation, I was empowered with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The releasing of the Holy Spirit helps me to deepen my understanding of the Spirit’s gift. Give me the grace today to deepen my appreciation of its meaning. To see things as God sees them. Deepen in me an appreciation of this gift. It helps me to choose God’s ways. So often I can believe in what is best for me, not necessarily the choice God would have me to do. God gave this same gift to King Solomon in the Old Testament, who asked to have wisdom to lead his people in God’s ways. Allow me that grace to choose wisely in my life. Amen.
St. Margaret of Scotland, pray for me.
