Seek
“Seek then the highest wisdom, not by arguments in words but
by the perfection of your life, not by speech but by the faith that comes from
simplicity of heart, not from the learned speculations of the unrighteous. If
you search by means of discussions for the God who cannot be defined in words, He
will depart further from you than He
was before. If you search for Him by faith, wisdom
will stand where wisdom lives, at the
gates. Where wisdom is, wisdom will be seen, at least in part. But wisdom
is also to some extent truly attained when the invisible God is the object of
faith, in a way beyond our understanding, for we must believe in God, invisible
as He is, though He is partially seen by a heart that is pure.”
~St. Columban
