“If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all. Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them: ‘Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me” (Mark 9:35-37) . “He exhorted them to acquire humility and simplicity, as demonstrated in a child, namely pure from jealousy, from vain glory, and from love of authority.” – St. John Chrysostom
