Wisdom of God

“O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame,

A second Adam to the fight and to the rescue came.

O wisest love! That flesh and blood, which did in Adam fail

Should strive afresh against the foe, should strive and should prevail.

And that a higher gift than grace should flesh and blood refine:

God’s presence and His very self essence all-divine.”

St. John Henry Cardinal Newman
