August 17, 2024 — Saturday, Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time — Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (Mt 19: 13-15)
Children were brought to Jesus
that he might lay his hands on them and pray.
The disciples rebuked them, but Jesus said,
“Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them;
for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
After he placed his hands on them, he went away.
