Today's gospel 
Mathew 11 25 to 27.

We shall call this reading being humble and receptive. In this passage we see the unique relationship between Father and Son, emphasizing that we can only know the Father through the Son (Jesus). So, through being humble, we receive a teachable spirit like a child. We need to remember that God chooses to reveal Himself and truths in His way and time. 

Here, we also see the close and intimate relationship between God the Father and Jesus the Son. This closeness indicates to us that if we want this relationship as well,  we need to be humble. Lastly, we need to understand that only through Jesus will the Father's power be revealed to us.

Let us pray.

Father God, we thank you for revealing yourself to us. We thank you for guiding us in our daily lives. We ask that you give us a discerning heart and mind. We pray that you make us compassionate to people's needs. 
Lead and guide us. We pray in Jesus' Mighty Name. 
Amen.
