WISDOM'S VOICE
Introducing Wisdom's Voice, an initiative within Wisdom's Dwelling where women reflect on the weekday readings with the purpose of listening more deeply to God's voice in the Hebrew Scriptures.
PAST WISDOM'S VOICE REFLECTIONS
This week, Jessica reflects on Daniel's gifts in light of preparing for our new liturgical year.
This week Erika seeks to understand the motivation of a mother in a difficult passage from the Old Testament.
Jessica reflects on the importance of knowing and acting in wisdom.
The Letter to the Romans reminds us that love is the fulfillment of the Law. Jessica considers the difficulty of this but also the necessity of loving as our God does.
This week Erika dives into the book of Revelation for the Solemnity of Saints. She explores John's vision of the innumerable multitude of people we call the Saints and how nothing separates us from them.
This week, Jessica reflects on the dedication that is required in order to act righteously.
Jessica reminds us to express gratitude to those who walk with us on our faith journeys.
This week, Jessica reflects on God's (sometimes frustrating) abundant generosity in giving grace.
This passage is about Nehemiah’s appeal to the Persian king for the sake of Israel’s restoration. Nehemiah advocates for his people, even though he is fearful, and finds favor with the king. This leads us to the themes of advocacy and timing. We pray to remain steadfast in prayer to discern when our moments for action have come and take these chances to bravely advocate for ourselves and others
In the style of St. Vincent, Jessica invites us to share our prayer reflection so that we can learn from each other.
