See how high spirited children are. They seem to see, touch, feel everything all at once. They speak Not only when spoken to, out of turn and often laugh untamed. Yet are they naughty? Knowingly? Decisively?
How pure is the heart of a young child compared to yours and mine? When almighty and powerful God came to us, why did He humble Himself to come as a child? A baby?
Do we turn away then, one of these? The helpless, the weak? The uninstructed?
Let us embrace children lovingly as we children of God want to be embraced by our loving Father. Let us come to Him with the heart of a child, to have His touch upon us, His grace, His blessings, His love. Amen
GOSPEL Mark 10:13–16
People were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” Then he embraced the children and blessed them, placing his hands on them.







Grant O Holy Trinity one God we pray for all manner of things within and without the Christian Churches to become and forever remain what You call them to be.
