Gospel: Matthew
11:25-27
At that
time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for
although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have
revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All
things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except
the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the
Son wishes to reveal him.”

Reflection:
What is
the key to know Gods will for you? It’s childlike humility, a humble person is ever ready to listen to
the voice and will of God. He/she doesn’t go against the will of God he/she
rather allows God’s will to work in his/her life. In the process of allowing
God’s will to rule his/her life he/she discovers more about God.
When you
are humble you open yourself to the countless blessings that emanates from God.
You may ask, how am I going to be humble before God? You have to follow the
rules of the church which Jesus founded through St. Peter.
For
example the rule of Sunday Holy Mass obligation, a humble person will always
see to it that he/she is always present in this sacred celebration. Another
example is our submission to the sacraments most especially the sacrament of
reconciliation. A humble person will always find time to confess his/her sins
to a priest who is there in the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus
always looks kindly to those who are childlike and humble. Why? Because this is
the nature of God: He loves those who are humble and He opens Himself more to
the humble.
Do you
want to know more about God? And do you want to have a deeper intimacy with
God? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
