In today’s reading (Mt 11:25-27), the Son of God talks to His Father. We learn how the inner life of God takes place in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Pure love is the language.

“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.
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.”

Bishop Barron interprets: “From Adam and Eve to today, the fundamental human problem is that we seek something other than God. We seek to fill up the ego with stuff, such as sex, pleasure, power, and honor. But this will never work because we’ve been wired for God, and God is love.”

The Divinity reveals the eternal truths when we act with a childlike attitude and humble heart.
