The Beginning of Wisdom by Fr. Smith

The Beginning of Wisdom

Deo Gratias! Deo Gratias! Deo Gratias!

Thanks be to God! The True God is not under my control:

Bitter experience has taught me the misery of getting what I asked for.

Thanks be to God! The True God is not predictable:

Not I, not any man, not any Angel, not any creature could predict the Incarnation, the

Crucifixion, or the Resurrection – where would I be without Jesus born of Mary? (In hell)

Thanks be to God! The True God is beyond my understanding:

How laughable, how pathetic, how impotent would be a divinity that I could comprehend.

THANKS BE TO GOD! GOD IS GOD AND I AM NOT! GOD IS AND I AM NOT! GOD IS!
