Gospel

Matthew 11:28-30

Jesus said:
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."

The Gospel of the Lord,

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

Reflection

Reflection

Jesus thanks the Father for revealing His truth not to the wise and learned, but to the little ones. It is a beautiful reminder that knowing God is not about having the highest education, the most impressive credentials, or all the answers. More often, it is the humble, trusting, and open-hearted who recognize God's presence in their lives.

Children have a simple way of trusting. They ask questions, they depend on those who love them, and they are not afraid to admit they need help. Jesus invites us to have that same kind of heart before God. The more we let go of pride and self-sufficiency, the more room we give God to teach, guide, and transform us. Sometimes the greatest wisdom begins with the simple prayer, "Lord, teach me."
