Dear Saint Charles Borromeo family,
I invite everyone to join me on Zoom this evening at 7:00 pm for the fourth session of our bible study series titled "Meet Lady Wisdom". You may download the handout beforehand, and join us on Zoom by clicking HERE at 7:00 pm.
Background information: We often read from the Bible’s wisdom books, but many of us are not aware of a “wisdom tradition” in the Bible. Yet, like other scriptures, the Bible offers us a culture, tradition, or heritage of how to be wise.
We will discuss divine wisdom in the following books of the Bible: Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Ecclesiasticus (Sirach or Wisdom of Ben Sira), Wisdom of Solomon, Song of Songs, and some New Testament texts.
I look forward to seeing everyone this evening!
Blessings,
-- Fr. Kwame
