Wisdom is the first and highest gift of the Holy Spirit. It makes the soul responsive to God in the contemplation of divine things. Where faith is a simple knowledge of the articles of Christian belief, wisdom goes on to a certain divine penetration of the truths themselves. Built into wisdom is the element of love, which inspires contemplative reflection on these divine mysteries, rejoices dwelling on them, and directs the mind to judge all things according to their principles (Catholic Dictionary). Simply put, wisdom is seeing things from God’s perspective.

I am speaking about some wisdom from Pope Saint Paul VI today. The wisdom comes from his Apostolic Constitution on Indulgences. I highly recommend you read this document. Happy and Blessed All Souls Day.
