Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and
said, “I give you praise, 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 who the Son is except
the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son
wishes to reveal him.”
Turning to the disciples in private he
said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many
prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear
what you hear, but did not hear it.

Reflection:
Communication is an essential part to a
successful marriage. The more communication time a married couple has the
better that they would understand each other. Thus, communication facilitates
smooth relationship and intimacy.
Jesus in our gospel for today
communicates through His prayer with God our Father the creator. He gives
praise to the Father, Jesus did not only communicate to the Father to give
praise. He communicated because he longs for His Father and it’s through this
longing that He builds deeper oneness with Him.
We too must always have this longing or
thirst for God in every moment of our lives. We must always communicate with
Him for He is our lifeline in this world. What would happen to us if we would
not have our regular prayer moments with God? We become empty shells that looks
sturdy outside but deep inside is spiritually shallow.
Let us always have our regular prayer
moment with God in everyday of our lives. Let us give praise to Him let us
thank Him for all of the blessings that He has been giving us. Let us not wait
for the time to come wherein we will look for God because we are already in
dire need of Him.
Do you have your regular moment of
communication with Jesus? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
