The Mystery of Belonging: Receiving the Kingdom as a Child
from Ad Jesum per Mariam · host Ad Jesum per Mariam
The Mystery of Belonging: Receiving the Kingdom as a Child The readings today explore the profound mystery . . . . . . behind Jesus’ invitation for children to come to Him. We all have heard the story of Jesus holding a child. But do we really understand the meaning behind the mystery? The Essence of Being a Child It emphasizes that the essence of being a child is belonging—to a family, to one another, and ultimately to God. Just as children must be raised, humanity, too, requires guidance and teaching from God. The Homily highlights the familial relationship we share through Christ, as both children of God and of Mary, reinforcing that true freedom comes not from independence but from recognizing our belonging. The call to receive the Kingdom like a child is a call to embrace this belonging fully, a message that extends to families and the entire Church. Listen to this Meditation media.
