A STORY TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
Tuesday in the 1st Week of AdventLk 10:21-24
Not everything we know we understand. There are many things we know and yet we do not really understand them.
Knowledge is not the same as wisdom. Knowledge is in stored in the mind. Wisdom dwells in the heart. But both are among the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. Both can be present in any individual, but not all individuals possess both.
Knowledge is achieved through thorough study. Wisdom is received through sheer grace. Knowledge of things are often easily and immediately seen and rewarded. Wisdom takes some time to be revealed and acknowledged. Having both, knowledge and wisdom, is always desirable. Let us study to know and pray to be wise.
In this season of Advent, let us realize that it is not enough to know about the Christmas story. We need to understand the reason why Jesus was born. Let us pass to our children not only the beautiful story of Jesus’ birth. Let us, more importantly, help them understand by His birth is beautiful. When we put up the Belen, the Christmas tableau, once again, it will be more than nice to allow our children assist us as we help them know the details of the story and understand it well.

Oh Holy Spirit, dwell in us that we may have the wisdom that we need as we love you. That every Christmas day will be a different experience to each one of us, knowing and loving our Lord Jesus Christ who redeemed us from our sins.
God bless po !!!
