In our first reading from the book of Wisdom today, we are presented a view point from the godless, how they are often threaten by those who have God in their lives, how the godless are resentful of the virtuous lives led by people of faith. Of course, this can be seen as a prophecy of how Jesus was treated as well, how his goodness and righteousness was resented, how he will be treated at the hands of his opponents.
Rather than resent those who lead virtuous lives, we as Christians are to look up to the saints as role models for us, to use them as examples on our own journey of faith, to have them accompany us, lead us, and guide us on our journey of faith. May wisdom lead us and guide us to a virtuous life, with the community of saints and other Christians to help us on our journey.
