“…in the meekness of wisdom.” (James 3:13)
Wisdom is something much more than mere knowledge. Just because a person is smart, even brilliant by human standards, does not mean he is wise. There are many intelligent fools in our world today. Thus, a truly wise man must “show” himself as wise by his virtue; that is, let him display his wisdom and understanding by being meek and gentle, knowing when to speak and how so as to teach, rather ridicule; lift up, rather than admonish; encourage, rather than exclude.
Fr. John
