I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Mt.18:3,4
Simplicity, innocence and littleness meld to form a key to the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus isn't just giving advice, he's giving a warning. Unless I change... I will never enter the kingdom. Change from what? Sophistication, impurity and aggrandisement.
There's work to be done but the God who forgives, who heals who redeems and who crowns me with love (Ps.102:3,4) is on my side.
Saint John Bosco, please pray for me.
