"No one knows who the Son is except the Father."

Saturday, 10/6/12

Jesus said, “No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son.”

We are familiar with the second part of that. We all remember Jesus saying, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

But the first part of Our Lord’s statement gives us a fresh idea. It says, “No one knows who the Son is except the Father.” That is telling us that if we long to have a more intimate relationship with the Son, we need the Father’s help; to get there.

When you are praying to Jesus do you ever want the feeling that your call is going through? Do you long for the assurance that he is there for you?

Today’s reading tells you to ask for the Father’s help towards your communicating more intimately with his Son.
