Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Child’s image – God’s Image”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed, “It is for such as these (children) that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs.” Ponder on, “the main differences of our adult lives and that of a child’s life is a child’s heart is not tainted by the evil desires of self-glory, gratifications; injustice and sin, but it has the purity to seek the Good; God’s Will.
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.
