Jesus Reveals the Father Only to Those He Wishes. What Are the Implications for Our Spiritual Journey?

Jesus Reveals the Father Only to Those He Wishes. What Are the Implications for Our Spiritual Journey?
In today’s Gospel, we are reminded that God reveals Himself to the simple and humble of heart.
We hear Jesus praying in the Gospel. Jesus prays to the Father and says You have revealed the secret of your mystery to the child-like. We may then ask: What is this mystery?
Jesus tells us the mystery is the Father has placed everything under the care of Jesus. It is a mystery that is revealed to the humble of heart. To know God . . . we can only do through Christ Himself! How do we know this?
Jesus tells us that only the Father knows the Son. And only the Son knows the Father . . . and anyone the Son wishes to reveal the Father. We cannot know God if we do not know Christ. Hear more in the Homily.
