May you see your children's children.
THE LORD IS GOOD TO THOSE WHO HOPE IN HIM, TO THE SOUL THAT SEEKS HIM.
(Communion Antiphon, Mass)
Just yesterday I was speaking to a group about regaining the sense of awe and wonder of a child. And people are bringing children to Jesus in today's Gospel so that Our Lord can touch them. Let the children come to me, says the Lord, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Amen I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it (Mk 10:15). And a grandniece of mine was baptized today in Switzerland. God is praised! Open your hearts and minds like a child this day, be awed by the marvelous works of God, be curious, be open to surprises. Jesus is full of surprises. Jesus loves us and wants to embrace us too. May we be "such as these."
Then He embraced them and blessed them, placing His hands on them.
(Mk 10:16)
