He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them -
"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." Mark 9: 36-37
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. Mark 10: 13-16
Go, then, return to thy daily toil; be silent, humble, resigned, charitable; then return to the Lord with a heart yet more loving and devoted, and He shall have fresh blessings for thee!
