The Simple Wisdom of a Little Child
All of the good stuff this week: movies! the summer I turned pretty! new couple alerts. One bad thing: hot cheeto popcorn.
This is a moment to reflect on being humble as Elder Jeffrey R. Holland teaches about childlike humility.
In this episode Landon Saunders suggests three phases that comprise the journey of every person seeking to live a meaningful, joyful life.
“Bring the children to Jesus!” His disciples tried to stop them, but Jesus rebuked them. We must never hinder anyone seeking Christ, regardless of age or background. Simple, childlike faith is all He asks for. Let's actively help others come to Jesus, not stand in their way. #ChildlikeFaith
This sermon explores the meaning of Jesus'scommand in Mark 10:13-16 to ‘receive the kingdom of God as a little child.' Zack explains how Jesus' primary point is probably about a child's (non)status—like other teachings in this gospel, Jesus challenges our status evaluations. Morethan this, though, this teaching encourages us towards a childlike spirituality—exemplified by people like Therese of Lisieux and Henri Nouwen.
This is a moment to reflect on humility, as Elder Jeffery R. Holland teaches about the childlike humility mentioned by Jesus.

What should we do with our children? Matthew 19:13–15 prepares us for the sermon in the morning public worship on the coming Lord's Day. In these three verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that we should bring our children to Christ, because they are His, and He is their hope.

Step into a message that will touch your heart and invite the Spirit in profound ways. In this episode, we explore President Jeffrey R. Holland's April 2025 general conference address, “As a Little Child.” President Holland, renowned for his ability to speak directly to the soul, offers a moving and deeply personal reminder of what it means to be humble, meek, and full of childlike faith.With his signature warmth and candor, President Holland recounts the Savior's invitation to His disciples: “Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven”. Through tender stories and powerful testimony, he illustrates how the innocence, purity, and trust of children are not just endearing-they are essential qualities for anyone seeking to draw closer to Christ.You'll hear examples that will bring a smile to your face and perhaps a tear to your eye, such as the story of a young boy's courage and faith that moved his father to tears. President Holland reminds us that children love easily, forgive readily, and laugh delightfully-qualities that can soften even the hardest heart and transform our relationships with God and each other.This episode is more than a discussion; it's an invitation to examine your own heart. Are there places where pride has crept in? Could you use more of the childlike attributes of faith, loyalty, purity, and love in your life? President Holland's words will encourage you to let go of burdens and rediscover the joy and spiritual power that come from becoming as a little child before God.
Anden del af "Toppermost" om "With The Beatles" fra 1963 er klar. Med andre ord: Pickuppen, nålen eller stiften er tilbage i pladen fra november 1963 og Søren Koch er igen sprængfyldt med anekdoter, musikeksempler, begejstring, hovedrysten og bare ren kærlighed til The Beatles. Episoden åbner hvor første del slap. Midt på side 1 og med George Harrisons første udgivne rigtige sang ( ja ja; han var medkomponist på Cry For A Shadow), og midt i en træt forkølelsesrus ryger George ind på en legendarisk plade med "Don´t Bother Me"! Og der er mange spørgsmål der kalder på svar i denne episode. Eksempelvis: Kan man godt synge om en "Little Child" i 2025? Kan man tillade sig at gå ind på et teenageværelse for at høre Paul McCartney? Løftede The Beatles "Please Mr. Postman"? Hvorfor blev George mindre og mindre synlig i den vokale forgrund? Er der virkelig dødt løb mellem to Beatles-sange? Og kan både The Beatles og Rolling Stones være i een taxa? Søren Koch kan du høre meget mere om i første episode som du bør høre før denne.

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Today, Kathryn Wright and Ken Yates are responding to a question about Mark 10:15. Is this referring to rewards? Is “receiving the kingdom,” the same thing as “inheriting it”? How is inheriting the kingdom distinguished from entering the kingdom and from becoming a child of God? Please listen to

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples, “Things that cause sin will inevitably occur, but woe to the one through whom they occur. It would be better for him if a millstone were put around his neck and he be thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.” Luke 17:1–2Having a millstone placed around your neck and thrown into the sea is very descriptive. Jesus is using very evocative language. A millstone was a large round stone with a hole in the center. If it were placed around someone's neck and they were thrown into the sea, they would obviously sink to the bottom and die. Thus, Jesus is clearly stating that this awful fate is actually better than the fate of those who cause “one of these little ones to sin.”First of all, it should be clarified that no one can actually cause us to sin. Sin is our own free choice, and we, and we alone, will be held accountable for our own sin. One thing that Jesus is pointing out here is that even though every person must take responsibility for their own actions and their own sins, we must also take responsibility for the ways that we act as tempters of others. We are all sinners. Therefore, by our sin, we will all tempt others to sin also. Sometimes we will tempt people to sin by provoking them to anger. At other times we will tempt others to sin by setting a poor example. And on the contrary, we also have the ability to “tempt” people to virtue. Or more properly speaking, to inspire and encourage them.With that said, Jesus explains that the fate of those who act as tempters of others, especially the “little ones,” will suffer consequences graver than an untimely death. The little ones of which Jesus speaks should be understood as those who are weak in faith, overly sensitive, particularly vulnerable at that time in their life, and susceptible to outside influence. This could be a child, or it could be someone who is currently teetering on the edge of despair, confusion, anger, or any serious sin. When you encounter people like this, how do you treat them? Jesus has a deep heart of compassion for these people and wants us to have the same depth of compassion. But sometimes we fail. We may be negligent in our duty to reach out to them. Even this negligence could be a form of causing “one of these little ones to sin.” Of course, it is even far worse if we were to actively agitate them, harshly judge them, provoke their anger, draw them into some sin of weakness and false consolation by our temptation, etc. The simple truth is that Jesus loves those who are weak, vulnerable and sinful, and He wants us to love them with His heart. When we fail to do so, Jesus will hold us accountable for their further fall from grace.Reflect, today, upon the person or persons in your life that appear especially vulnerable, sinful, confused and lost at this time. Who is it that struggles with anger, or an addiction or some sinful lifestyle? Ponder your attitude toward them. Are you judgmental, condemning, belittling and the like? Do you tempt them to fall further into any sins of weakness they commit in a vulnerable state, thus leading them into further sin? Or, when you encounter someone who is greatly struggling, do you turn to them with the deepest compassion and mercy, forgiving any ways that they may sin against you, and work hard only to be there for them in their need, no matter how hard it is on you? Commit yourself to a profound love of all of God's “little ones” and seek to serve them with the heart of Christ so that one day they will eternally rejoice with you in Heaven. My most compassionate Lord, You love the sinner and deeply desire that they turn to You in their need. Please give me Your heart of compassion so that I will be free to love them as You love them. May I never become an instrument of temptation for them to fall further away from You but, instead, become an instrument of Your unfailing mercy. Jesus, I trust in You.

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.” Mark 9:42St. Bede, an early Church Father, states that “he who is great, whatever he may suffer, departs not from the faith; but he who is little and weak in mind looks out for occasions of stumbling.” In other words, the “little ones” here could be understood to be those who are weak in faith and are constantly looking for reasons to depart from the faith.Consider who might struggle with this tendency in your own life. Perhaps there is a family member who continually questions the practice of the faith, perhaps someone you know considers himself or herself a “fallen away Catholic.” According to St. Bede, these are the “little ones” of whom Jesus is speaking.When dealing with someone who appears to lack faith, expresses doubts and disagreements, is caught in a life of manifest sin, or has begun to walk away from the practice of the faith, there can be a temptation to criticize, argue or condemn. If this is a temptation you struggle with, then listen closely to Jesus' words: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin…” We cause those who are weak in faith to sin when we fail to show an abundance of virtue toward them during their struggles. Deep down, most people who are struggling with a life of sin or a weakness of faith do, in fact, have some faith. They do believe in God. But their faith is often easily shaken, and they can be easily pushed further away from God if we fail to exercise the necessary virtues of patience, compassion and mercy they need.With that said, we also have to avoid offering a “compassion” that is not grounded in the truth. On this point, St. Gregory states: “If a stumbling block is laid before men in what concerns the truth, it is better to allow the offense to arise, than that the truth should be abandoned.” In other words, it is not compassionate or merciful to show support for another in their error so as to make them feel good. The truth of the Gospel must never be abandoned; instead, that truth must always be offered with the greatest of charity, especially toward those “little ones” who are weak in faith. Reflect, today, upon the important balance that is necessary in the apostolic life. “Balance” does not mean compromise. Rather, it means that we seek to continually bring forth the full truth of the Gospel while also seeking to exercise the fullness of every virtue in the process. Do not become a stumbling block to others in the faith. Seek, instead, to lavish God's grace and mercy upon those in your life who need it the most. If you do, then many of those little ones will one day become truly strong in the grace and truth of our loving God.Most merciful Lord, You desire that all of Your children come to the full revelation of Your truth and mercy. Please use me as You choose to reach out to those who struggle with their faith and need to be treated with the utmost care. May I never be a stumbling block to them but always be a bridge to You and Your abundance of grace. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
