The Spirit of Wisdom

The Roman Catholic Lectionary today addresses the question of the Coming of the Kingdom. We look to prophets and seers to answer this question. Jesus was asked to share His understanding. He answered that in fact, ‘the kingdom of God is among* you.’ (Luke 17). The indwelling of the Spirit of God strikes the author of the Book of Wisdom as the greatest of gifts in life. ‘For she is a breath of the power of God, and a pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;’ (Wisdom 7). Richard Rohr, in the Naked Now, suggests that our being will ‘resonate’ in response to this in dwelling Kingdom.
