Wisdom is Shared

The smart man learns from his own experience: trial and error.

The wise man learns from the experience of others, he need not fall himself!

And the fool refuses to learn at all!


May the good God, Jesus Christ, grant that you and I be at least smart and even wise, to avoid falling ourselves and to serve as a guide to the wise and the smart. May we be guided by the infallible wisdom of the ages, the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.


(cf. 1Kings 3:9 "Give your servant, therefore, an understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right from wrong." Solomon's divinely pleasing prayer for wisdom from yesterday's daily Mass reading [Saturday of the fourth week of ordinary time, year II].)


--Buona Domenica!
