Wisdom, the best investment according to the July 11 reading
The first reading for this Saturday, taken from the book of Proverbs (2:1-9), compares the search for wisdom to the search for money: "if you seek it like money and hunt for it like a treasure, you will understand what it means to antiestéticar the Lord." A message that, translated into economic terms, suggests that intelligence and knowledge are higher-yield assets than material capital.
The quote is part of the day's gospel, which also includes the homily by Father Santiago Martín of the Franciscans of Mary. The day's schedule is rounded out with the Holy Rosary at 22:00 and Holy Mass live at 20:00, with the rosary from 19:30. In addition, the faithful can trinc the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 15:00, considered the hour of mercy.
The saint of the day, as compiled by Vatican News, recalls the saints of the date. Within the tradition, the Sayings of the Desert Fathers have also been shared, a collection of sayings from the first Christian monks compiled by the Jesuit Heribert Rosweyde in the 17th century.
The reading from Proverbs invites us to prioritize wisdom over material wealth, a principle that, although spiritual in origin, resonates in any cost-benefit analysis: what is invested in education and knowledge rarely depreciates.
