First Reading: Isaiah 10:5-7, 13-16
Psalm: Psalm 94:5-10, 14-15
Gospel: Matthew 11:25-27
25 On that occasion Jesus Said, “Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I praise you because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed to simple people. 26 Yes, Father, this is what pleased you.
27 Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father, except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
HOMILY
The Gospel speaks about the Kingdom of God being revealed, not to the wise or the learned, but to the childlike. The key to today's Gospel is for us to have a childlike disposition.
No matter how intelligent we are, we should leave space for faith. We should look at God - His love, and His ways - with purity and innocence as of a child. As we thank God for making us smart, for making us wise, for making us successful, we should also follow God with humble prayer like that of a child.
