Wisdom

The first reading from November 12 (Wisdom 7:22b–8:1) was about Wisdom.

In Wisdom is a spirit
intelligent, holy, unique,
Manifold, subtle, agile,
clear, unstained, certain,
Not baneful, loving the good, keen,
unhampered, beneficent, kindly,
Firm, secure, tranquil,
all-powerful, all-seeing,
And pervading all spirits,
though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.


Today's reading (Daniel 12:1-3) echoes this as well:
But the wise shall shine brightly
like the splendor of the firmament.
