DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage

Dear Friend in the Lord,

Greatest – Least” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus explained to His disciples, “Unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”  Ponder on, “To live Jesus’ Good News with commitment, we need to be like a child who is ‘free’ from the ‘evil justifications’ of our anger, arrogance and hatred of our pride.”

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.’
