Wisdom 1:1-7 / Luke 17:1-6
In the battle between good and evil, there can be no doubt that good will prevail and will be victorious.
But the folly of mankind is that people choose to go along with sin and evil to get immediate gains.
And it may be anything from being deceptive to being diabolic.
But the sinful and evil person can never get the upper hand.
As the 1st reading says, the Wisdom of God will never make its way into a crafty soul, nor stay in a body that is in debt to sin.
And those who put obstacles to lead astray the virtuous will certainly be punished, as Jesus said in the gospel.
The Wisdom of God is a friend to those who love virtue and honesty and helps those who seek the Lord in simplicity of heart.
Let us ask the Lord God to send the Spirit of Wisdom into our hearts to strengthen our faith.
Our faith may not move mountains or uproot trees to be planted into the sea.
We just need to believe in love and forgiveness and that would be enough to defeat sin and evil.
