Pope Francis described the three parts of today’s gospel, a prayer of blessing and thanksgiving of Jesus to the Father in his commentary before praying the noonday Angelus with the Covid-19-restricted crowd in St. Peter’s Square.
The Holy Father noted that the prayer from the 11th chapter of Matthew’s gospel opens with blessing and thanksgiving, then goes on to reveal the mystery of the Kingdom of heaven, the relationship between Jesus and the Father, and offers to give comfort to the faithful.
