All things have been handed over to me by my Father
Is 11,1-10; Ps 71,1-2.7-8.12-13.17; Lk 10,21-24.
4 DECEMBER
Yesterday, the centurion revealed to us that Jesus is the Supreme Commander of all creation. Everything is submitted to obedience to every Word that comes out of his mouth. He says and things happen under his command. His every order is the law for everything that exists on earth, in the heavens and in the abysses of the sea. Today, Jesus himself reveals to us what the foundation of his omnipotence is, which is not only on creation, but it is also about the knowledge and revelation of the Father and his mystery: “I give you praise, O Father, Lord of heaven and of the earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned and revealed them to the little ones. Yes, Father, because you have decided this way in your benevolence. Everything has been given to me by my Father and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, nor who the Father is but the Son and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal him”. Source of everything in eternity and time and after time is the Father. The Father is Father because he has generated in the today of eternity, in the beginning, always his Only Son. Not only did the Father generate the Son, but he also put his whole self in the Son. He works all through his Son. The Father does nothing without the Son. Father and Son live in eternal knowledge. In the communion of the Holy Spirit the Father is all in the Son. The Son is all in the Father. This is the truth of the Father and the Son.
Whoever says these words is not the Eternal Word before the incarnation. It is the Only Son of the Father made flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. It is the Incarnate Word who has received everything from the Father. It is He the only true Revealer of the Father, the only one that can manifest him because he is the only one who knows him. No one has ever seen God. The Only Begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father has revealed him to us. If this affirmation of Jesus is true, if the word of the Gospel is eternal light for us, no one might ever separate Christ Jesus from the Father and the Father from Christ – whoever did it would commit a very grave sin against the eternal truth of the Father and the Son. – nor can he ever think, affirm, say and teach that Christ is not necessary to go to the Father. Without Christ we do not know the true God. Only He knows Him and only He can reveal Him. Without Christ we cannot go to the Father, because we go to the Father through him. This faith must be rekindled in the heart of every believer. Above all, all false prophets that today are ruining the purity of the evangelical faith with their philosophical and psychological, anthropological theories and every other human science, with which we want to replace the very pure revelation of Lord Jesus, must be denied. Christ is the light. Man is in darkness. The Word of Jesus is truth. The word of men is falsehood and lie.
At that very moment he 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.”
It is useless to celebrate the Advent of the Lord if we do not place on the candelabrum of the Church this most pure faith in Christ Jesus, the only true Revealer of the Father. Since from the truth of the Father every other truth is, if we are in ignorance of the Father, we can know nothing either of Christ Jesus, or of the Church, or of man, or of the mystery of eternity and or of what happens in time. Without the light that comes from Lord Jesus we are condemned to walk in darkness. Is it possible to celebrate a Christmas of darkness, if Christmas is pure light? Is it possible, from falsehood and lie, to celebrate the mystery of the purest truth? Without the truth of the Father, the truth of Christ, even the liturgy becomes falsehood, deception and lie. But today Christians live and celebrate everything from falsehood: of the Father, of Christ, of the sacraments, of the Church, of the Gospel, of sin, of grace, of life and of death. It is urgent to return to the truth of Christ Jesus.
Mother of God, Angels and Saints, immerse the hearts and minds of Christians in the light of Jesus.
