By Fr. Ignatius John Schweitzer, OP, Catholic Exchange - Imagine if we saw things how God sees them. How differently we would respond to people in our life if we saw them like God sees them, with His Fatherly heart of love! How differently we would respond to difficult events and situations in our lives if we saw them like God sees them, as part of the unfolding of His beautiful plan... To ask to see what God sees is to pray for wisdom. Solomon could have asked for anything, and the Lord praises him for asking for wisdom. Among the Church Fathers and Medieval theologians too, wisdom was held in the highest esteem. Why is this? Because wisdom means a familiar intimacy with God and His ways.
