Tuesday, August 11, 2020 - 19th week of Ordinary Time - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18, 1-5. 10. 12-14 - Take my yoke upon you and become my disciples, says the Lord, for I am meek and humble of heart.

In a word, the content of today's Gospel focuses on mutual consideration. When his disciples asked a question, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus took a little boy and placed him in the midst of all. But above all, let there be no mistake, it is not a question of falling back into puerility and childishness in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, but rather of imitating the virtues of the child not his honesty, that is to say, avoiding twisted ideas, but preferring and always telling the truth. There is also the trusting dependence on one's parents or others, that is to say, feeling insufficient and asking for help from others. And finally, humility.

Therefore, every person who calls himself a Christian must possess these spiritual qualities of a child, namely openness, humility and trusting dependence. Only those who have these are worthy of the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus Love, You reveal Yourself to us through our neighbors, especially the poor and marginalized, help us to be inclined to care for one another in our daily lives. Amen.
