The tearful child who stayed in a corner not only lacked confidence, but lacked trust; it was self-engrossed; and so it is with us, in the spiritual life, if we are self-centred.

Like children, we are permitted to show delight in our "new clothes" - the gifts God gives us. But all honour is due to the giver.

Words cannot describe the marvel of God's love for us, His children - brothers and sisters together before Him. We should feel confident at every Mass because Christ is amongst us praying for us.

Jesus said: Whoever welcomes a little child, welcomes Me. And He warned of the punishments due to those who harm the 'little ones'.

Everyone on earth can choose to call out for God's help, hoping to be heard. Yet those who have been baptised into Christ, made adopted children of God, living in His light, can speak with God as with a friend, and have a sure hope of Heaven, if faithful to the end. Christ's Spirit, living in souls, gives knowledge of God, intimacy, and hope, and is a lamp for the Way.

After a child had embraced me, Christ explained that His love is the same - it is pure, simple and tender. He longs for my welfare.

Christ was walking in the midst of His people, a child on His shoulders, with the pilgrims and sick ones.

Christ showed me the simple way: through faith and trust in Him I am making my way to eternity, like a child who walks on stepping-stones

Just as a lack of a balanced diet can cause sickness and even deformity in children, so a lack of the fullness of truth (where a distorted Christian message is heard, or where Orders are not valid) can lead to 'deformity' or 'sickness' in souls, even when they have good-will.
