This is the first reading at mass today. I feel like any commentary I give will be completely overshadowed by the incredible message this reading has to offer. So I'll say this... Girls this is what you want in a man because it is exactly how Christ loves each one of us. The Bridegroom loves his Bride.
2 | I loved her and sought her from my youth, and I desired to take her for my bride, and I became enamored of her beauty. |
3 | She glorifies her noble birth by living with God, and the Lord of all loves her. |
4 | For she is an initiate in the knowledge of God, and an associate in his works. |
5 | If riches are a desirable possession in life, what is richer than wisdom who effects all things? |
6 | And if understanding is effective, who more than she is fashioner of what exists? |
7 | And if any one loves righteousness, her labors are virtues; for she teaches self-control and prudence, justice and courage; nothing in life is more profitable for men than these. |
16 | When I enter my house, I shall find rest with her, for companionship with her has no bitterness, and life with her has no pain, but gladness and joy. |
17 | When I considered these things inwardly, and thought upon them in my mind, that in kinship with wisdom there is immortality, |
1 | and in friendship with her, pure delight, and in the labors of her hands, unfailing wealth, and in the experience of her company, understanding, and renown in sharing her words, I went about seeking how to get her for myself.
Wisdom 8:2-7, 16-18
