Anyone who does not welcome the Kingdom of God like a little child, will never enter it.

Daily Reflection

We would like to thank all our friends who supplied us with these 'Reflections of Life' which we are sharing with the Internet Community. We encourage you to purchase the books from which these reflections are quoted!

It was easy for Peter to follow Jesus when he was doing miracles and other wonderful things. Then Jesus appeared truly as the Messiah who would give back to Israel the dignity of the chosen people after so many years of humiliation under Roman rule.

It is easy to belong to a flourishing church that is doing wonderful things. It was more difficult for Peter to follow Jesus when he was beaten and had lost. It is even more difficult to remain in the Church when it is poor, broken and humiliated. It is never easy to lose or to die.

And yet, the mystery of growth for a Christian is to accept the pain of littleness and humiliation. It is then that we truly live the mystery of our faith; it is then that the power of God becomes manifest.
