You can guess the appearance of heaven.

Two Wolves: One evening, an old Indian took his grandson and told him about the battle that goes on inside each person. He told him, “Boy, the battle inside each of us is between two wolves.” One is evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sadness, selfishness, rudeness, hatred, self-pity, falsehood, arrogance, and ego. The other one is good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, equanimity, modesty, kindness, empathy, generosity, faithfulness, compassion, and trust. The grandson thought about all this and after a minute asked, “And which wolf will win?” The old Indian replied: “The one you feed”.

This story is a metaphor for our life – for our heart, which is capable of doing good things as well as bad things. So a person can live as a saint, but also as a scoundrel. What does it matter? Of course, more things affect it, I’ll stop at one today. Today we will talk about the virtues that every person can have, precisely the queen virtue of Wisdom. By the way, it is also one of the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit. If you want to know what the scriptures say about Wisdom, read the book. Look for God’s Wisdom, which will protect you from the evil way.

If one of you lacks Wisdom, let him ask God for it; he gives it to everyone in abundance and without reproach – and it will be given to him. The sound came to me together with Wisdom…(Wisdom 7:11) Wisdom is an inexhaustible treasure for people…(Wisdom 7:14)

Wisdom is not just something that I remember, that I naturally get hold of… something like a degree, it’s not scholarship, it’s not just theory, knowledge. As we have heard, wisdom is a gift from God, and God gives it to those who desire it, seek it, and can provide anything for Wisdom. So, Wisdom is the art of living, so I am always focused on the goal; I live in such a way that I want my good – salvation of the soul and eternal life. I want heaven, but my feet walk on solid ground (D. Bosco). So that they don’t write on my monument, here lies the one who didn’t know what he was living for.

So, a wise person tries to listen to God’s goodness and truth all his life. He is an explorer and a master who connects God’s truths with everyday life. He lives not only an ideology, but he is a mystic. Since he surrendered to God, he has experienced everything with Him. He does not attribute anything to himself at all; he knows that he did everything he got and could do, only thanks to God and together with Him. He is free and proud of his divine origin… How do I gain Wisdom? … source is St. scripture and Church Teaching, it is our personal experience, prayer, study, excellent people, and others. Wisdom makes itself known to man. Wisdom shines and does not fade; it is easily seen by those who love it, and it is found by those who seek it.

It overtakes and makes itself known to those who long for it. He who looks for her early in the morning does not need to exert himself because he will find her sitting by his door. To think about her is the height of reasonableness, but whoever watches for her will be worry-free. She goes round and seeks those worthy of her, appears to them on their paths, and walks to meet them. /Wisdom 6,12-16/

Story…. Like Sweden, where a man who sold barrels lived. He put them on a sled, harnessed a horse, and walked with them from village to village. Once, walking through the desert, he heard the howling of wolves when he was still far from the town. The horse was tired, and the howling could be heard getting closer. It was clear to him that they would not escape. But he still drove the horse. Suddenly, he noticed a moving point in front of him. It was the beggar, Frank. She certainly didn’t hear the wolves because she was walking towards them. The man thought: “If I let her go on, she will come under their teeth. While they are tearing her apart, I will buy time and probably manage to escape. If I take her on the sled, the wolves will tear us and the horse apart in a moment. But if I get free, I will live with regrets until death.” Thinking, he barely realized he was speeding past Frank. Now she, too, heard the howling. She wanted to scream, but didn’t make a sound out of fear.

Initially happy to escape the wolves, the man began to have regrets. He hasn’t done anything dishonest so far. “Let her have her way!” – and turned his horse. “Put it on!” – he exclaimed when he reached the old woman. After a while, the old woman says, “Why don’t you drop the barrels and relieve the horse? You can come for them tomorrow.” The man rejoiced at the good advice, surprised that he hadn’t figured it out. He entrusted the reins to France, gradually dropping the barrels to the ground. Wolves already, already catching up, were held back a little. “If it doesn’t help, I’ll go to the wolves myself so that at least you can save yourself,” Frank bravely offered. But the man said: “No need. You run to the village and call people to come here to help me!” He jumped down from the sled, and when the wolves approached, he deftly crawled under one of the heavy barrels. The clamp caught up, but she didn’t know how to handle iron frames and hardwood. She forgot about the horse and the cart. Called by an older woman, the people of the village dispersed the pack and rescued the man. A happy ending with a dramatic twist. We all want to see a happy ending in our lives. They say, “All’s well that ends well.” So that it will always be like that, I will at least behave like a barrel dealer or a beggar Frank. Even people from the village can address me. Everyone shows a certain courage; they are witnesses for each other, they help each other, sometimes a little advice, a word of encouragement, or a gesture of forgiveness is enough, and the clouds of fear disappear.
