Reflect on the statutes of the Lord,
and meditate at all times on his commandments.
It is he who will give insight to your mind,
and your desire for wisdom will be granted.

---- mine,
I AM the Word of God, I AM Wisdom, I AM Truth, I AM Life, I AM Love. Seek Me with all your heart. Search for Me in the pages of Sacred Scripture, in the Liturgy of the Church, in meditation and contemplation. Unless you spend time with Me truly seeking to know Me, love Me, serve Me faithfully and live in union with Me, unless you are willing to do what is necessary on your part, even though you ask for wisdom, for grace and to grow in virtue it will not happen because you are not seriously desiring the things that you are praying for. If you seek Me, you will find Me if you seek Me with all your heart. You are lukewarm. You blow hot and cold. You are full of eagerness for a while, and then it all fizzles out. You can achieve nothing, receive nothing if you are not persistent and consistent and if you are not prepared to make many personal sacrifices, giving up complacency and self-indulgence. If you honestly desire to find the treasure in the field, the pearl of great price, you must be prepared to give up all. The prize is great indeed, but are you ready to sell all and pick up your cross daily and follow Me?
