Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not.

Excerpt

And they brought to Him young children, that He might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. Whom when Jesus saw, He was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it. And embracing them, and laying His hands upon them, He blessed them.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Gospel of Mark, when the disciples want to push the children away, Jesus becomes indignant to defend them, takes them in His arms and blesses them: the kingdom of God is welcomed with the simple trust of a child. Today, give time and real attention to a child around you (listen to them, play with them), or, if you do not spend time with children, entrust a worry to God with the simplicity of a child.
