Bishop Henning on the Fear of the Lord as the Beginning of Wisdom

"“The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10)

"In the Catholic worldview, there is an inseparable link between our beliefs about God and how we are to live. The quote from Proverbs above captures this connection."

In a recent commentary, Bishop Richard G. Henning, the bishop of the Diocese of Providence (RI), reflected on original sin and our falling away from god and on how, when "we return to the proper worship of the Lord, we find then that our stance towards one another shifts," and we "see each other with new eyes as fellow travelers and brothers and sisters."
