Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Matthew 11 and Christ’s words: “You have hidden these things from the wise and the learned and revealed them to little ones.”

Jesus is not condemning intelligence or praising ignorance. He reveals that the mysteries of God are not mastered through human ingenuity but received through union with Him.

The little ones are those who allow themselves to be shaped by Christ rather than relying upon themselves. Divine reality is greater than any human mind can grasp on its own.

The Christian life does not begin with moral effort or self-improvement. It begins with Jesus, who reveals the Kingdom to those willing to receive it.

Only little ones are content to live in Him.
