Here's Meg's inspiring message for today...

Dear Good Friend,
Jesus encourages us to be childlike (but never childish) in our faith.
Praying for you,

It is always with pleasure that I watch children playing well together. There is something of the joy of the Lord in their innocence and the way they just seem to get on with enjoying life no matter what might be going on around their families or in the world. Jesus reminds His disciples that this is the sort of attitude we should bring with us when we come into the presence of God.

Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
tiCkEt tO hEavEn?

“Entering” is the verb for today. Jesus tells us that unless we change and become like little children we will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Who does not want to enter heaven?
Jesus warns His disciples then and us today that we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven without changing our hearts and acquiring childlike trust in God. Conversion from sin must lead to total faith in God who is a Father waiting to give us His kingdom. It is not true that there is no admission ticket to heaven. There is! Faith.
Unless we have complete trust in God we will never enter His heaven.
Do you have your ticket with you always? Fr. Bobby Titco

Reflection Question:
Faith is my ticket to heaven.

You gratuitously offer heaven to us, O God. Thank You. Let me not miss my chance to enter it. Increase my faith, purify my love, and confirm my hope. Amen.
