Advent: Seek Wisdom and Jesus, Incarnate Wisdom

Wisdom dwells with God, and is God’s Beloved (Wisdom 8:3).

If it is God you desire, let it be Wisdom you seek, For She is true God.

Wisdom is the knowledge of God
And to know Her is to know Him as well (Wisdom 8:4).

Wisdom is known through both form and formlessness.
For some the form is the easier gateway to Her,
For others the formless.
For those who prefer the form,
There is no greater form than Jesus, Wisdom Incarnate.
