Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Childlike Faith”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed to His disciples the importance of having a “childlike faith” that is: humbly receptive, trusting and pure in heart in response to God’s Love, Truth and Will. Ponder on, “Is our mind and heart, divided because we justify our sinful attitudes and behaviours?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 18:1-5
The disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he called a little child to him and set the child in front of them.
Then he said, ‘I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
‘Anyone who welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.’
