AS A LITTLE CHILD (Mark 10:13-16)
The gift of a child is like a glimpse of heaven. I have often seen
a mother gazing at her new born child with eyes of wonder. ‘Did I really bring
this new person into the world?’ And she continues to feast her eyes on the
astonishing sight before her. It is as though the child has come straight from
God to her and another world has broken in on the one she is used to. Now she has to adjust her life to this new
and wonderful new life. And the child remains for some years as this innocent gift,
formed by heritage but not yet asserting his or her personality with generous
and not so generous choices.
