Think you’re smart?

Some of us are very confident about the level of our intelligence.

Especially if we are incessant users of the Internet (myself included).

In today’s Gospel (Matthew 11:25-27), our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ reminds us that the most important knowledge – knowledge of God – is a gift.

At that time Jesus exclaimed:

"I give praise to you, Father,
Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to the childlike.

"Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.

"All things have been handed over to me by my Father.

"No one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him."
