Praying for Wisdom Every Day

This meditation book contains a series of Wisdom sayings on how to live a good and holy life.  They tend to be very practical, so that even though they were written over two thousand years ago, they can still be applied to our lives today.  There are three sources for the sayings.  The first source of the sayings comes from the Book of Proverbs, a collection of Wisdom sayings attributed to King Solomon.  The second source of sayings comes from Ecclesiastes, also known as Qoheleth.  They speak of the difficulties and frustrations of trying to live a good life.  They reject the idea that if someone were to live a good life, that person would automatically prosper.  The third source of the sayings is Ecclesiasticus, also known as Sirach or Wisdom of Ben Sira.  This meditation book was written by Fr. Jude Winkler, OFM Conv. and you can listen to his daily reflection on the Roman Catholic Mass readings at www.companionsofstanthony.org.
