Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Childlike Faith”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims that to have a “child-like faith” is to be “the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.” Ponder on, “Jesus knows that we are all sinners, and that we all need His Merciful and Forgiving Love. To have a ‘child-like’ faith is to have total openness, sincerity and humility in seeking for God’s Will.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 18:1-5, 10
At this time 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. See that you never despise any of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven are continually in the presence of my Father in heaven.’
