The childlike

July 19, 2017 6:00 am

“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.” (MT 11: 25-26)

Our Lord had His own reasons for choosing His disciples. He didn’t reveal His will to “the wise and the learned” but to “the childlike . . . such has been your gracious will.” We are close to His heart; we are His beloved children, and we are always loved—we are His “little ones.” 

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