If your "Divine Wisdom" happens to be Christ then the GOOD NEWS is Catholics believe He's doing a whole lot of TEACHING through His Church...
"The Roman Pontiff and the bishops are "authentic teachers, that is, teachers endowed with the authority of Christ, who preach the faith to the people entrusted to them, the faith to be believed and put into practice." The ordinary and universal Magisterium of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him teach the faithful the truth to believe, the charity to practice, the beatitude to hope for.
The supreme degree of participation in the authority of Christ is ensured by the charism of infallibility. This infallibility extends as far as does the deposit of divine Revelation; it also extends to all those elements of doctrine, including morals, without which the saving truths of the faith cannot be preserved, explained, or observed." (CCC 2034-2035) Previous Message
Pre-conceived ideology is that easy willingness to perceive matters through the lens of our free choice to believe that our interpretation of what we experience, of what we see becomes our truth, our understanding of reality; an immovable belief fixed in time, for all time.
Accepting that each of us is an explorer on a road towards self discovery teaches the pathfinder that seeking to better know who we are becoming should entail embracing the conviction that we don't know it all, and that our life's journey broadens our perspective by relinquishing any thought that today's experiences are adequate to carry us into what ever tomorrow presents to us, thereby learning that the way ahead will present us with more lessons, worth learning to make our future worth living to die for.
Here I am inviting the traveller to embrace the call of Divine Wisdom to better engage with His request to let Him become our teacher that we may celebrate each and every day all that life has on offer.

I quote:
Whoever fears the LORD will do this;
whoever is practiced in the Law will come to Wisdom.
2
She will meet him like a mother;
like a young bride she will receive him,
3
* She will feed him with the bread of learning,
and give him the water of understanding to drink.
