Dec 17 O Wisdom




from the Narthex of St. Sophia Johannite Church, Conover, NC



O Sapientia, quae ex ore Altissimi prodiisti,
attingens a fine usque ad finem,
fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia:
veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiae.



O Wisdom, coming forth from the mouth of the Most High,
reaching from one end to the other,
mightily and sweetly ordering all things:
Come to teach us the way of prudence.



Sophia, the Holy Wisdom of God, written by Diana Arkhi, based on a Russian icon



Veni, O Sapientia,

quae hic disponis omnia,

veni, viam prudentiaeut doceas et gloriae.

Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel

nascetur pro te Israel!
