God our Father so loves us that He wants for us to remain close to Him. In essence to choose good over evil by listening to His Word. When we receive His Word into our very being it not only nourishes us but is life giving. The most precious gift to us; Jesus in the Eucharist.
We who are obedient unto God our Father, who lead simple loving and holy lives; knowing and trusting that our loving Father will provide for all that we need; We are His most precious children and nothing can tear us away from His loving arms. And when we love, honour and care for one another His children, we love and honour Him. Amen

GOSPEL
Matthew 18:1–5, 10, 12–14
The disciples approached Jesus and said,
“Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?” He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety–nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety–nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.”
