Gospel:
Mark 10:13-16
People
were bringing children to Jesus that he might touch them, but the disciples
rebuked them. When Jesus saw this he became indignant and said to them, “Let
the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to
such as these. Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God
like a child will not enter it.” Then he embraced the children and blessed
them, placing his hands on them.

Reflection:
Have you already
taught your children about Jesus?
Jesus
rebuked the disciples who prevented the children from going to Him. He said to
them: “Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the Kingdom of God
belongs to such as these. Why? This is for the reason that children are still
not tainted by sin and they are innocent
and harmless.
The words
of Jesus is timeless, it is always in season. So when He said, let the children
come to me it is also for the modern parents today. He tells us today, bring
your children to me; teach them about me and introduce them to me before they
become creatures of this world.
Many
modern parents today don’t care to introduce their children to Jesus. Yet they
care to introduce even teach them how to play with modern gadgets. Such as cell phones
and tablets which do no good to their eyesight.
The
mistake of many parents nowadays is this; they forget to introduce their
children to Jesus. For the reason that they were not brought-up that way thus
they perpetuate this mistake. Let us correct this error by teaching and
bringing our children to Jesus.
If you do
this you’re assuring them of a safe and bright future ahead of them. Have you
educated your children about Jesus? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
