Friends,
today in the Gospel we witness Jesus in intimate conversation with his
Father. We are being invited into very deep mysteries by this passage.
Jesus addresses his Father and thereby reveals his own deepest identity
within the Holy Trinity. He says, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven
and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and
learned, you have revealed them to the little ones.”
It
is most important to keep in mind that this is not simply a good and
holy man addressing God, but rather the very Son of God addressing his
Father. We are being given a share in the inner life of God, the
conversation between the first two Trinitarian persons.
And
what are the “things” that have been concealed from the learned and
revealed to the little ones? Nothing other than the mystery of Jesus’
relationship to his Father, the love that obtains between Father and
Son, the inner life of God. From the beginning, this is what God wanted
to give us.
