Reflection from https://anglicancompass.com/o-sapientia-o-wisdom-from-on-high/: Why is Wisdom—or in Latin, Sapientia—the first of the seven “O Antiphons?” Because this is Wisdom from on high: the divine, personified Wisdom, who was present at the creation of the world. In other words, we begin our song with Wisdom, because she was singing at our beginning! And yes, we sing also of the human wisdom that we need, accepting that we must learn it at her feet. For “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 9:10).
