Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Joys of Children” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus instructed His disciples to bring the children to Him as they bring great Joy to God. Ponder on, “Jesus sees the hearts of integrity and openness in children, and rejoices with them. Pray for such childlike dispositions and values in our hearts.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 19:13-15
People brought little children to Jesus, for him to lay his hands on them and say a prayer. The disciples turned them away, but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children alone, and do not stop them 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.
