Dear Friend in the Lord,
Childlike Humility: In today’s Gospel, Jesus said to His disciples that to be the “greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven,” we need to have the virtue of childlike humility. This virtue is to be totally trusting in our love for God. Do we “trust God” and yet, find ourselves, living in the insecurities of our attachments in our lives?
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 whom he set among them.
Then he said, ‘In truth I tell you, 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 one little child like this in my name welcomes me.’
