Article 2 IN THE FULLNESS OF TIME
2603
The evangelists have preserved two more explicit prayers offered by Christ
during his public ministry. Each begins with thanksgiving. In the first, Jesus
confesses the Father, acknowledges, and blesses him because he has hidden the
mysteries of the Kingdom from those who think themselves learned and has
revealed them to infants, the poor of the Beatitudes.48 His
exclamation, “Yes, Father!” expresses the depth of his heart, his
adherence to the Father’s “good pleasure,” echoing his mother’s Fiat
at the time of his conception and prefiguring what he will say to the Father in
his agony. the whole prayer of Jesus is contained in this loving adherence of
his human heart to the mystery of the will of the Father.49
