One can put on gold and abundant jewels,
but wise lips are the most precious ornament. (Proverbs 20:15 NABRE)
In this life, we should spend our time seeking wisdom rather than the approval of others based on our appearance. Today's proverb reminds us that wisdom is preferable to to gold and jewels. It points out that inner beauty is preferable to extravagant accessorizing.
Today, I will work to speak with wise lips and to act with compassion for others in need.
Saint Hedwig, who chose poverty over her wealth to help the poor and to better appreciate the supernatural life of God's grace, pray for us.
