Revealed unto babes

No one knows the Son but the Father, and no one knows the Father but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son wills to reveal him. This means that I have not decided to follow Jesus. I have not come to him by my own free will; I had no part at all in coming to him. He chose me. Whom does he choose? Not the wise and prudent, not those who are stayed upon themselves, but babes: infants, sucklings, who know nothing, who have nothing. Into such as  these he pours his blessing and salvation. So let us return to Baptism, and as newborn babes and sucklings, desire the pure milk of the word; and let us become newly weaned as well, beginning to take solid food, the Blessed Sacrament. And let us gain a serenity as we nestle in the bosom of the Almighty, closing out the worries and trials and fretting of the world, and know instead that underneath are the everlasting Arms. Let us live by this faith. Sermon for the Wednesday after the Transfiguration.
