Matthew 18:1–5,10

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, whom he put among them, and said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. Take care that you do not despise one of these little ones; for, I tell you, in heaven their angels continually see the face of my Father in heaven.”

Reflection

• Can I sense what was behind the disciples’ question? Do I feel the same as they did?

• How can I become a child again? Do I find it difficult to be a child again? Talkk to Jesus about my difficulties.
