“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will." (Matthew 11: 25 - 26).
It is the gracious will of Abba Father to reveal the mysteries of the Kingdom of God to little ones. This is how God acts always and everywhere. The "gracious will" of God never fails nor does it change, come what may.
Those who have enjoyed revelation of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God through the gracious will of Abba Father are: Saints Catherine of Sienna, Teresa of Avila, Therese of Lisieux. These three women are Doctors of the Church.
Others are: Saints Maria Faustina, Teresa of Kolkata.
Mother Mary Angelica deserves a place on this list even though she has not been canonized. Read her 5 books to judge for yourself the revelations she has enjoyed.
"O God, who in the abasement of your Son have raised up a fallen world, fill your faithful with holy joy,
for on those you have rescued from slavery to sin you bestow eternal gladness.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever." (Collect 14th Sunday).
