Last Saturday at Mass this was in our Gospel Reading: “Children were brought to Jesus that he might lay his hands on them and pray.
The disciples rebuked them, but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." After he placed his hands on them, he went away. [Mt 19:13-15]
Bishop Barron shared this insight, God’s call for us to be like little children and that call “… has nothing to do with being unsophisticated, unaccomplished, or childish.
[St.] Thomas Aquinas was one of the most accomplished men to ever live, the greatest intellectual in the history of the Church, and one of the subtlest minds in the history of the West…. ‘childlike’ and ‘innocent.’
Childlikeness has to do with that rootedness in what God wants us to be…. He was and remained who God wanted him to be, and thus he was like a great … a child.”
Today reflect on your rootedness in God, and may you become more childlike in that rootedness each day.
May God Be Praised!
