Galatians 4:22-24, 26-27, 31 - 5:1 / Luke 11:29-32
To be literate means that basically a person can read and write.
That would also mean that a person has had some elementary education.
That would enable a person to go from primary education to secondary education and to other higher levels of education.
That would mean that the person would have gone through a learning process.
As it is, learning is a life-long process, and everyday we learn new things.
So, intellectually speaking, we know and have learnt a lot.
However, spiritually speaking, there is the additional aspect of revelation and wisdom.
In the spiritual realm, one learns from the revelation from God and is open to God’s gift of wisdom.
In the gospel, Jesus called the people a wicked generation that is asking for a sign.
They may be literate and have knowledge, but they are illiterate in the ways of God.
They have not learnt from the signs of God and they keep asking for signs.
Let us pray and ask God for the wisdom to learn from the signs about His ways and how to do His will.
