Jesus praises his father for "hiding these things from the wise and the learned" and revealing them to the childlike." ((Mt 11:25). What are "these things"? The simple truths that good can come from evil; that suffering produces growth; that God is present even when we feel or think he is not; that the faithful and trusting heart experiences true joy; that material goods do not bring happiness and that when love weeps, sin cannot abound. A child is not bothered by the complicated questions nor does a child reject another because of "differences", but welcomes all and plays happily with them. Simplicity is the gift of the child; it is what enables us to see and love "the hidden things."
