“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 9:37 . “The Lord has honored man by means of his incarnation, and he has honored the poor by considering them his younger brothers, and whatever is done to them is offered for his account. Here he is honoring childhood; he, who accepts a child in his name, accepts him. I wonder who would not be eager enough to embody the nature of ‘modest childhood’ carrying the name of the Messiah, the king? Indeed, the Lord has sanctified childhood for he himself has become a child. He still does sanctify it, for his name is carried by the little children.” – Fr.
