Show Me Cursive Letters

Then they brought him children, to put his hands on them and pray for them, and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, "Let the children and do not hinder them come to me, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven". he laid his hands on them and go from there. (Mt 19, 13-15)

Be like a child ... Sometimes in our lives, we throw out the immaturity. You can have after a bad adult male that behaves like a peevish puppy (he should get time hit in the chest in this regard). Why did Jesus say that it is to children, the kingdom of heaven? It seems to me that this is a childlike love, joy and spontaneity. When I read this passage of the Gospel, always comes to my mind a few verses of the song sung by Munk Staszczyk:

I would go home

I would like to return to the

Which I remember from my childhood

When I loved them all ...

child is above all very authentic. Explicitly expresses his emotions, he can not hide them. I realized this especially on the practices in primary school when the younger students is not hindered, by simply and quite spontaneously to express their opinion on the lessons a song, etc. So if a child says and shows that he loves, it's not fake and he does it - as in the song quoted above - all by myself.

admit frankly that I too would like to return to that childhood state. Not in terms of age, but the authenticity is. To a state where what is experienced, not ubierało in sophisticated word, not a falsification of reality for himself, and when approached to life with a certain simplicity. When love I love meant , like meant like a mean I hate hate . That childhood I was missing and I think it is missing many a man - in relationships, in fact, home, school, work or even in the Church. An adult is not easy to talk about feelings is not easy to face the truth about themselves and what surrounds us.

recently during the celebration was a wise priest told me the community of God's childhood. About how the perception of another person stop on its official, the outer shell, or the suppressed, looking at her shortcomings or sins. We forget, however, that this brother or sister is a child of God, which are incorporated into the Church by baptism. Particularly difficult for us to remember that when a person does not like or when it makes the relationship with some unique difficulties. Because if it is easy to look at the teacher, who simply picking up on his student as the child of God? No, definitely not easy - but it should.

Be like a child ... After all, I already am child of God! Only if it shows your life? Not by naivety, not by immaturity and not by the person being infantile. But because of the simplicity of heart, wyzbyciu the falsity and with the implementation of the commandment to love. It's an art form. Teach me, good Father, be a good child ... Teach me to be a good father.

Maybe this is the cure for these diseases of the soul, which plagued me lately ("Lord, where did this anger, why the jealousy, how discouraging it)? Maybe this is the cure for you, Dear Reader? I wish myself and to you the joy of being a child. A child of God.

Psalm 131

Rest in God

Lord, my heart is not proud
and my eyes are not haughty.
not chase for what is great,
or what is beyond my strength.
the contrary, I have calmed
and quieted my soul.
As an infant in his mother as a baby - as in me is my soul.
Israel, put hope in the Lord
henceforth and for ever!
