Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost

Christian wisdom does not judge and choose according to rebellious instincts or misguided opinion: it chooses according to the teachings of the New Testament, (Bible) and in view of man’s destiny for eternal happiness. The wise Christian see God’s will in all things and surrenders to God’s will in all things. He chooses God’s way gladly and gratefully in all things, and not merely when God’s will is in accord with his own inclinations, Moreover, wisdom leads the Christian to be content with God’s favor and guidance and not to ask for signs and wonders to prove his presence and power.

Christian wisdom puts charity above everything. Truth and justice are not enough, for they are never complete without charity. And charity has no national; boundaries, as Christ cured the officer’s son at a distance, so his death offered on a local altar can mean grace to a pagan in a distant land.

In Christ, Joseph
