Wisdom is a person, a person whom we can come to know intimately on our knees in front of the crucifix. Christ is the true wisdom which surpasses all human wisdom and orders the science of theology.<br /><br />I have a question though...<br /><br />"For this is eternal life, that they might know Thee, the only true God..." (John 17:3)<br /><br />What about the fact that we see God more perfectly the more perfectly we have loved? Does it resolve to the same idea, that to put on the mind of Christ (as we attempt to do in the Summa) is the become Christlike and to love as He loves. Can you separate knowing and loving in the Beatific Vision, which is simultaneously perfect sight and pure delight?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319537412503136152noreply@blogger.com
