Father José Román Flecha reveals how divine wisdom speaks as a person, declaring its eternal origin and mission to dwell among humanity.

The episode opens with a reading from Sirach 24, where wisdom is personified, speaking of its divine origin and dwelling in Israel. Flecha explains this wisdom comes from God to attend to humanity. He then reads Psalm 147, emphasizing God's unique revelation to Jacob. Flecha argues that listening to God is a liberating privilege, not a burden, citing Thomas Aquinas on wisdom as 'savor' rather than mere knowledge. Next, he reads Ephesians 1, a hymn about being chosen in Christ before the world's foundation for holiness. Flecha illustrates this by imagining Pope Leo XIV inviting him to accompany a visit to Spain; he humorously lists excuses like attending a football match or concert, then contrasts this with God's far greater call to be his children. He reflects on how distraction causes ignorance of this Christian vocation. The Gospel reading is John 1:1-18. Flecha notes its parallel 'In the beginning' with Genesis, explaining the Word was with God and was God, through whom all things were made. He describes the Word as life and light that darkness did not overcome, referencing John the Baptist as a witness. Flecha cites Lope de Vega's poem about Jesus knocking at the door, highlighting how many did not receive him. He stresses that the Word became flesh and dwelled among us, showing Jesus as God's only Son who reveals the Father. Flecha concludes by extracting three affirmations from John's prologue: the Word contains life, is the true light, and became flesh so faith stems from encounter with Christ, not just ideas. He ends with a prayer asking for guidance by God's wisdom and light.
