Dear Friend in the Lord,
“All Souls Day” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus prayed in thanksgiving to His Father for revealing His Truth of Salvation to “little children”; for they are open and humble, unlike the proud. Ponder on, “Today, we pray in faith; especially for those who have died; that their souls may meet God’s Merciful Love and will enter into the Eternal Kingdom of heaven.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 11:25-30
Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’
