Wisdom of the WORD

When I began this writing, it was the Solemnity of the Birth of St. John the Baptist, and in the Office of Readings St. Augustine concluded his sermon: "John was a voice that lasted only for a time; Christ, the Word in the beginning, is eternal." Jesus is the Word of words, the Word that speaks beyond all words, the Word that is one with the Father, whose NAME (YHWH) is Silence itself, a Silence that speaks in all words through the power of the Spirit. He is the WORD made flesh and dwells among us, speaking as only He can, with a Wisdom only He owns. And so His words and, indeed, all of Scripture is pregnant with meaning, meaning that goes far beyond the surface. As the Saints have told us, Scripture is an undrainable ocean and a mine wherein infinite treasures may be discovered, if one seeks them with a mind open to the Wisdom of God, the Wisdom of the WORD. In this work I pray to have been blessed to communicate some of that holy Wisdom known only in the Spirit of God, to unearth some of the treasure the LORD offers forth in His Word.
