ESPRESSO SHOT: Discovering True Wisdom
by Father Brian J. Soliven on Thursday September 3, 2026
The wisdom of the world often teaches us to trust what we can measure, master, and explain; but Scripture invites us into a deeper wisdom, one that begins not with the exaltation of man, but with the revelation of Christ. The world says that wisdom is found in possessing answers; Christ shows us that true wisdom is found in knowing the One who is the Truth. What appears foolish to the world—the Cross, surrender, humility, obedience—becomes, in the light of God, the very doorway to life. For the wisdom of Scripture does not merely make us clever; it makes us new. And when the brilliance of human thought has reached its limits, we discover that the ancient words of God were not behind us at all, but were pointing us home.
