All things have been handed over to me by my Father

“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.” (MT 11: 27)

When we live as a total and unconditional gift of selves, we share everything. What is mine becomes yours; what’s yours becomes mine. The Father is totally with His Son, and “all things have been handed over to Him by His Father.” They know each other, in a very specific way, and because They love each other, there is perfect reciprocity of knowledge between Them. We can know the Father because we are loved by the Son—we are the ones “to whom the Son wishes to reveal Him.”

“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.” (Gospel Acclamation)
