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 would 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 would 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 friendship with God? – Marino J.
