Daily Readings:Isaiah 10:5-7, 13b-16; Matthew 11:25-27

Jesus expresses deep gratitude to God for revealing the mysteries of His kingdom to those who are humble and childlike. He explains that God has chosen to reveal these truths not to the self-proclaimed wise and intelligent, but to those who approach with a childlike heart.

The importance of humility in our relationship with God represents a profound level of Christian spirituality. 

True wisdom and understanding come not from knowledge or abilities but from the willingness to surrender to God’s will. When we approach God with a humble heart, we receive the revelation of His kingdom and experience the fullness of His presence.

Jesus declares that God has chosen to reveal these things to Him, and that He has been given all authority by His Father. This reminds us of God’s sovereignty and wisdom, encouraging us to trust in His plan even when we do not fully understand it.

Call to Action for Catholic Living: By surrendering ourselves to God with childlike hearts, we open ourselves to His plan and experience His presence, wisdom, and power. God's power is made perfect in our weakness, vulnerability, and humility. Let us humbly ask God to reveal His plans for us. Amen.
