Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Children’s Faith”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus welcomed the children who were brought to Him to be blessed. He also proclaimed that “the Kingdom of Heaven has a special love for children.” Ponder on, “Do children not move us with joy when we see them speak and act with purity of hearts? We are called to love God with a heart that is pure and mature.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 19:13-15
People brought little children to Jesus, for him to lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples scolded them, but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children alone, and do not stop them from coming to me; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of Heaven belongs.’
Then he laid his hands on them and went on his way.
