JESUS, ETERNAL WISDOM,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
In today's reading from the First Book of Kings, we hear the account of the Queen Sheba and her encounter with King Solomon. It was then that the Queen of Sheba witnessed the king's great wisdom (1 Kgs 10:4). So impressed was she that she gave the king "one hundred and twenty gold talents, a very large quantity of spices, and precious stones. Never again did anyone bring such an abundance of spices as the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon" (1 Kgs 10:10). United in faith and prayer, let us pray for the gift of wisdom, for as Procopius of Gaza (465-528), bishop, tells us in a commentary on the Book of Proverbs, included in today's Office of Readings, "to man who was made in the image of Christ when the rest of creation was created, Wisdom gave the seven gifts of the Spirit to enable him to believe in Christ and to keep His commandments." Wisdom has built herself a house (Proverbs 9:1).
The wise man will reap rewards if he behaves correctly.

SAINT TEILO,
PRAY FOR US.
