simple people. Yes, Father, this is what pleased you. Everything has been entrusted to me by
my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and
those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
Reflection:
The simple people approach life without much complication. That
is why they can see things clearly as it is. The wise and
learned on the other hand tend to debate and argue.
They forgot that truth sometimes can be found in its basic, less
complicated form. The simple people are more attuned to this simpler
form of truth. And so, they understand faster than those who have studied. It is
an understanding borne of paying attention rather than intellectualizing things
and events. Take for example the birth of the Lord. The lowly shepherds come
to know it while the wise and learned surrounding the court of King Herod had to
be informed by the wise men from the east before they could establish where the
child is born. The shepherds saw the child as well as the foreigners while the
leading dignitaries of the kingdom has no idea at all. The heart of God is surely
disposed to the simple and lowly.
