Reflection on the WORD
“God’s Will in Jesus” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus glorified His Father in Heaven for revealingHis Truth of Salvation; through Him as His Son; to the “little children” and the rejected in society; instead of the learned. Ponder on, “All we know about God our Father is revealed through Jesus. We are all called to be open to the Truth, and respond with humility.”
Matthew 11:25-27
Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’
