Reflection
The gift of knowledge is more than an accumulation of facts. Within our own limits, knowledge allows us to see the circumstances of our lives as God sees them. Through this gift, we can discern God's purpose in our lives. We intuit the meaning of God's revelation, especially as expressed in the life and words of Jesus Christ. Knowledge enables us to understand creation as a sign which leads to God. It enables us to minister more effectively to the needs of people, to know and understand situations, and circumstances and to know how to speak with a knowledge that can surprise, disarm, open-up, and help to bring answers, healing and understanding.
Prayer
Spirit of Knowledge come that we may know You and know ourselves and so grow in holiness
Action
I will try to attune myself to recognize the Presence of God in creation
and in the events of my daily life.
Suggested Reading
For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6
Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:1-48

Romans 12:2
You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
