wisdom did not desert him

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Wisdom 10:10-14 Psalm 34:8-9, 16-20, 23 Luke 9:1-6

Wisdom 10:13  When a righteous man was sold, wisdom did not desert him, but delivered him from sin. She descended with him into the dungeon,

We are often tempted to loose our wisdom when times get tough.  True wisdom, however, goes with us into the trouble and guides us through without resorting to sin.  When times get tough, stay wise.  Don't resort to simple and easy ways out through sin.  This is a false path.  It doesn't lead out, but leads into a deeper and darker dungeon.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to cherish the wisdom that you give us. Help me to keep wisdom by my side when times get tough and lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil.

Amen
