In today's muddled world of lost values, vast untruthfulness and violent rejections of history, Jesus's words, "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and learned you have revealed them to the childlike." (Mt 11:25) are a call to refresh ourselves with the wonder of a child, to see no evil, and have absolute trust in those who care for us...i.e. one another. It's a big order, but the alternative, "woe is me, for the whole world is coming apart." brings only depression, and even despair. May we wake up the child within us and look at the world with the trust that Jesus requires of us. "All shall be well", Julian of Norwich, a mystic with great insight, wrote over and over again, It is an insight we need more than ever today. May we support one another with our childlike trust and work to overcome doom and gloom.
