Contemplation
And why does He say that children are fit for the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt., XIX, 14)? Perhaps because they are ignorant of wickedness, do not know how to deceive, do not dare to make blows, do not know the search for wealth, have neither desire for honors nor ambition. But it is not to ignore these things that makes virtue, it is to despise them; It is not childhood that is designated, but a kindness that imitates the simplicity of childhood.
+ Ambrose of Milan

Prayer
Lord Jesus, teach me to be as a child. Teach me a former innocence, a simplicity, a kindness of a child. Remind me of the childlike trust in my Father that I once had, that I may learn how to rely on You each and every day.
