Therefore, in order to recognize this action of mine, you must have the eyes of a little child, the mind of a little child, the heart of a little child. You must again become simple, humble, recollected, poor, innocent. You must truly become once again those little children to whom alone will be revealed the plans of God, the mysteries of the kingdom of God.
Blue Book #63h
The Gospel is so simple. The more your head is filled with theology and what have-you, the less you understand the Gospel. For the Gospel has been told and written for the the little ones. One must be simple and humble when one reads the Gospel.
Grace in Every Season (March 26)
Everyone is out there in this out of control world ‘acting big’, and faking it til they make it. So the last thing anyone wants to hear is ‘be little’. But yet that’s exactly what’s needed to be part of the Kingdom.
This is not a reflection to have us look around and see how puffed up everyone else is. It’s one to have us glance inwards. What are we still holding on to? What areas aren’t we being true to what God is calling us to? Sometimes we may even be exhibiting a false show of humility.
Humility is not playing small and just cowering in a corner not saying a word, or showcasing your God given talent; it could instead be stepping out when you know that what you have to contribute will not be readily accepted or may even be mocked. it’s about obedience even when it’s risky.
So this isn’t an acting game… like todays blue book passage says “You must truly become once again those little children to whom alone will be revealed the plans of God, the mysteries of the kingdom of God.”
Let Our Blessed Mother help you truly become little.
