Why I would give Kenya grade B minus for this year

By Charles Kanjama

Wisdom is one of the greatest virtues in theology. St Bonaventure notably warned against, reading without repentance, knowledge without devotion, research without wonder, prudence without joy, work without piety, learning without love, intelligence without humility, study without grace and thought without wisdom. What exactly is this wisdom, which adds a right proportion to every human quality? Leo Trese explains that wisdom gives us a right sense of proportion so that we esteem divine things; we value goodness and virtue at their true worth and see the goods of this world as stepping stones to holiness, not as ends in themselves. Wisdom gives us an other worldly vision or, even better, perceptive hindsight so that we look at things now as we would look at them after future experience.
