In this episode of Holy Spirit Activate, Fr. David Dodd, TOR, reflects on the gift of wisdom—the first charism listed by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 12. Unlike human intellect or clever strategy, this wisdom is a supernatural gift that enables believers to see situations from God's higher perspective. It’s not just about knowledge; it’s about direction, discernment, and divine insight.

Fr. David explores the biblical foundation of wisdom, drawing from St. Paul’s letters, the life of Daniel, and the witness of the early Church. He unpacks how wisdom often accompanies prophecy, serving as God's guidance for how His plans are fulfilled in our lives and communities. Through personal stories and practical examples, he challenges listeners to believe that divine wisdom is not just for saints or scholars, but for anyone open to being used by God—especially in the face of modern challenges.

With heartfelt encouragement, Fr. David calls believers to pray for wisdom, recognize their spiritual influence, and bring heavenly solutions to earthly problems—all for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom.
