As promised, I am recommending another podcast today from Bishop Robert Barron. In this podcast, he reflects on God’s question to Solomon—“What do you want?”
Bishop Barron suggests that we imagine God asking us the same question. How would YOU answer that?
Solomon’s answer pleases God. When you listen to this, you will learn Solomon’s answer.
Following Barron’s interesting reflection on wisdom, he identifies what he thinks each of us should ask from God.
His reflection on wisdom, is striking. It leads to the conclusion that if you ask for wealth, power or even length of life and gain those things but do not have wisdom, they will destroy you. Wisdom, he says, allows us to “participate” in the perspective of God.
Using wisdom, we can have the vision to know how to respond to the temptation these things bring.
Before you listen to the podcast today, ask yourself, “What do I want from God?” and then decide if what you desire will “please God and make you more fully alive.”
