JESUS AND THE CHILDREN

February 26, 2011

D A I L Y G O S P E L


Jesus welcomes everyone who wants to come to Him to enter His Kingdom. Here He reminds us that we need to develop a childlike attitude towards accepting the gifts that God has given us if we truly want to benefit from them. A child has little hesitation in learning how to use a new toy or gift – similarly we should try out the many spiritual gifts we have been given as sons and daughters of the Father.


ALLELUIA

R: Alleluia, alleluia

Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.

R: Alleluia, alleluia


Mark 10:13-16


13 People were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 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. 15 Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.” 16 Then he embraced them and blessed them, placing his hands on them.
