"Oh the depth of the riches, and wisdom and knowedge of God!"

But not ours!

No not ours. We must muddle through on our way towards wisdom.

Should we send our kids to school?

Who will we vote for?

In this pandemic, where do we go, and where do we not go?

We need to pray for wisdom.

"Come Sophia

Holy Wisdom. Gateway to eternity

Sacred source of all that is

from long before earth came to be.

In your womb the primal waters

from below and from above

gently rock your sons and daughters

born to wisdom and to love.

Come Sophia

be a clear compellig presence everywhere

Still the terror. Dry the tears.

Come ease our burdens that we bear.

From the first faint light of morning

through the dark when day is done

be the mid-wie of our borning

and the rising of our sun.
