Gospel Lk 10:21-24
Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, "I
give you praise, 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 who the Son is except the
Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son
wishes to reveal him." Turning to the disciples in private he said, "Blessed
are the eyes that see what you see. For I say to you, many prophets and kings
desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear,
but did not hear it."

Meditatio
|
“Seeing is believing”. As believers we are living in a
conflicted time. What exactly are the facts in the beliefs we embrace?
History questions whether our faith stories really happened, archeology often
finds no evidence, psychology suggests myth is often preferred over substance,
and some in science suggest an alternate truth. “No one knows who the Son is
except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom
the Son wishes to reveal him." True faith is a gift, a revelation.

Oratio

Lord, what I desire is that you will give me the eyes
of a child during these holy days of Advent. How often I have walked right
past you, as I searched for you, not recognizing you where right here. How
often I heard your voice, your calling, yet thought it was a myth-sayer’s
babble. Grant to me now a guardian Spirit as go in search of you anew.

Contemplatio
|
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that
will be enough for us.” Jesus replied, “Philip, I have been with you all this
time, and still you do not know Me? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the
Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Jo. 14:8
