Hear the word of the Lord:
Mark 10:13-16
People were bringing little children to him in order that
he might touch them; and the disciples spoke sternly to them.
But when Jesus saw this, he was indignant and said to them,
"Let the little children come to me; do not stop them;
for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.
Truly I tell you,
whoever does not receive the kingdom of God
as a little child will never enter it."
And he took them up in his arms,
laid his hands on them,
and blessed them.
