All things have been handed over to me by my Father

18 JULY (Mt 11,25-27)

The Psalm teaches us that every man is made in a particular, unique way by his Lord and God. Every man carries an eternal vocation, a mission that is his alone and no one else’. It is right that everyone makes this truth his own.
O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all. You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot attain to it. Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me, And the light around me will be night,” Even the darkness is not dark to You, And the night is as bright as the day. Darkness and light are alike to You. For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way (Psalm 139 (138) 1-24).
Even Jesus, since he is a true and perfect man, other than the true and perfect God, he has been woven by the Heavenly Father with a unique mission, which is his alone and no one else’: from the day the Lord made the man up to the advent of the new heavens and new earth, and for all the days of eternity. This mission is sung this way by Christ Jesus himself in a magnificat of praise and blessing to his Father.
At that time Jesus said in reply, “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.
Jesus is the one and only Mediator between God and humanity. His mediation is of grace, truth, revelation, eternal life, justification, redemption, sanctification, love, compassion, mercy, and justice. It is a descending and ascending mediation. Through him, God gives himself in his mystery to man; through him man goes up to God. In Christ every exchange between God and men takes place. In Him and for Him the remission of sins and reconciliation occur. In Him and for Him the mystery of salvation is fulfilled.

The Father gave the Son everything. The everything is universal. Even creation, which was made through him, was placed in his hands for its eternal salvation. Nothing of what is created can go to God except through the Son. This is not a Christian, and Catholic truth. This is the truth, the only truth which is to be called anthropological truth, from which every other truth of man and on man receives its approval of justification or refutation, because it does not belong to the essence of the creature made by God in his image and likeness. This mystery must be affirmed, announced, proclaimed, declared, preached, taught with firmness, without any hesitation, any psychological subjection, and any fear. It cannot be imposed on anyone; however, it must be preached and proclaimed to all, so that all know where their full and perfect truth is. All know that only Lord Jesus is the truth of man, because He is God’s truth, from which today and always is the truth of man. Without the truth that comes from Christ the Lord, darkness will always envelop the earth.

Virgin Mary, Mother of the Redemption; Angels, and Saints insert us in this mystery. Make us be one only thing, one only truth, one only life, and one only revelation, with it.
