February 21, 1902- Volume 4– The speaking of Jesus was simple, so much so, that both the learned and the most ignorant could comprehend it.

35 This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet:[a]\“I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter what has been hidden since the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 13:35)

“My speaking was simple, so much so, that both the learned and the most ignorant could comprehend it, as appears clearly in the Holy Gospel. But the preachers of these times mix so many loops and quibbles with it, that the peoples remain starved and bored. It shows that they do not draw it from the fount of my spring.”

Prayer Meditation- O Lord You speak to us like little children and it is the little children, not the learned and the wise who understand (Matthew 11). Let us this Lent enter into our littleness and nothingness so that we would hear Your Voice and enter into Your Most Holy and Divine Will for the good of all and for Your Glory!
