The mystery of God revealed to the little ones

The mystery of God revealed to the little ones
Wednesday of the Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Mt 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..."
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus shares a great secret with us: if you want to have faith, become little. To believe in God, the first thing is to know our place: who am I? God alone is God, and I recognize that I am limited. Certainly, we are intelligent, but also… very limited. When man does not believe in God, he invents a “god” or proclaims himself to be “god.” —Jesus is God who made Himself little. Will you not make yourself little before Him? It is only reasonable that I acknowledge my littleness and proclaim the greatness of God. Isn’t it?
