Reflection
Ezekiel 18:1-10,13,30-32, Matthew 19:13-15
“A simple and humble heart is what pleases God”
Jesus is pleased with the simplicity of a little child’s heart. Jesus Himself chose to be born as a little child in a manger, instead of coming as a spectacular adult king living in a grand palace. Jesus grew but His heart remained simple, uncomplicated and humble.

Today, Jesus calls us again to let simplicity be the style in which we live, we relate, we think, we desire, we make decisions. He also calls us to look for Him, not in grand and spectacular events, but in the ordinariness of daily life.

Questions for reflection:
1) Do I cherish this virtue of simplicity? Why?

2) How can I live this day being less complicated and simpler?
