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:
The story is told about a man who was very serious in his desire to know
God. So, what he did was he read every book that deals about God. But he was
wondering how come that the more that he read books about God the more that God
becomes distant to him?
So he seek the advice of a wise man for enlightenment thus he was told by
the wise man: Your dilemma is simple. You need to become more humble as you become
more learned about God. You should put into your heart and not into your head
whatever learning that you obtain from your readings.
Do we want to discover more about the movement of God in our life? The
secret word is humility: childlike humility; this is for the reason that the
more childlike we become in front of God the more that we open ourselves to His
many graces.
What is the demeanor of Jesus when He prays to God? Jesus is always
humble before God, He doesn’t brag or boast anything about Himself. So, we too
should always be humble for this is the secret for us to know more about God.
