The Gospel speaks to us of humility, of simplicity, of becoming a child.
There is a rock band that I have liked since I was a teenager, and I remember I had all the CDs recorded by them, and when they were performing in town or somewhere close by, I would do everything possible to see and listen to my favorite band.
I don’t usually share with others some Bible stories that are not my favorite or, in a way, I dislike, but today, I will make an exception.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13)
