Gospel Reflection: Mt 11:25-30

Gospel: Mt 11:25-30
Event: Feast Day of St. Thomas the apostle (Mt 11:25-30)

Pericope:
"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"

Reflection:
This passage makes me think about the popular saying "Nobody is Perfect", except God.

There are times I think that professional/experts, overrated celebrities or sensational people are almost perfect, that they've gone through too much experience and have known too much that we should respect them and that they have the right to disagree or deny anything that is near impossible anything that is not factual or not suitable to what they know, which includes religion, which includes God.

But this made me reject my belief and realize that too much pride can bring you down. God listens to humble people or "the childlike" because they are innocent in a way that they don't contradict and judge God. they stick with believing in God and never had lost those virtues that a lot of people including me just can't have them consistently, and that is faith and trust.

This I believe that faith and trust are more than pure facts, laws and theories and these can be hardly achieved by "the wise" because of critics and doubts and that way they stay away from these beliefs and go through their own. As a final point, I reflect that people can have "successful" life without faith and trust in God, but this life can't immediately bring you to true happiness that most God-fearing and most normal people have.
