Grace Through The Special Ones

Canon G10

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked him, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?'

"Then Jesus called a little child, set the child in the midst of the disciples, and said, 'I assure you that, unless you change and become like little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.  Whoever becomes lowly like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, and whoever receives such a child in my name receives me.

"'See that you do not despsie any of these little ones, for I tell you:  their angels in heaven continually see the face of my heavenly Father.

"'What do you think of this?  If someone has a hundred sheep and one of them strays, won't he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside, and go to look for the stray one?  And I tell you:  when he finally finds it, he is more pleased about it than about the ninety-nine, that did not get lost.  It is the same with your Father in heaven:  your Father in heaven doesn't want even one of these little ones to be lost.'"

Matthew 18:1-5,10,12-14

"Lord, make me gracious enough to let the little ones, the people with disabilities and those below me in stature, enter my life."
