Tuesday 19th Week in Ordinary Time A:

Mt 18:1-5,10,12-14: The disciples asked a question, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" Jesus sets a child as an example of humility and repentance.

As Jesus called the child; he/she came to him after listening to the voice of Jesus with obedience, humility and conversion.

This is how we need to be like a child with clean heart and mind to love and serve the Lord with humility doing God's will or plan in our lives.

We shouldn't understand or take in the literary sense of a young child; but we are all the children of God to know Him, to listen to Him and to come to Him with converted heart and mind as the humble servants of God.

Do we change our lives to come back to God with humility?

What are the qualities or criteria to enter into the kingdom of heaven?

Pride, greed, jealousy, hatred and unrepentant heart and mind are the obstacles to become the greatest person to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
