Dear Friend in the Lord,
“A Child – Symbol of Humility” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed, that a child is the symbol of the virtue of humility that is needed to enter “The Kingdom of Heaven.” Ponder on, “This virtue of humility in its fullest sense, is to be like Jesus, in His Openness and Obedience in living His Father’s Will.” Are we inspired by the Holy Spirit to develop and deepen this virtue?
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 19:13-15
The 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.
