Little one

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, and said, “Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. - Matthew 18:1-6 

This was today's gospel reading. My face lit up like a child's when I heard it because I was actually going to quote it in yesterday's blog. I stood there amazed at how God works. How good his timing is! 

St. Therese belittled herself like a child. She lived the gospel. I too want to become like a small child and live out my faith. Not because I want to be the greatest but because I want to be so small that I never feel too big to be held by my Father in Heaven.  

Show me Jesus through Mary how to be YOUR child.
