Personal prayer cycle · Day 20 of 31 · Mark 10:13–16
Read Mark 10:13–16 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.
The disciples treat children as an interruption, but Jesus welcomes them. He also asks adults to learn how to receive. The kingdom is not a prize for those who appear important or self-sufficient. We can make space for people whose needs disrupt our preferred pace.
Bring it to prayer
Who is asking for attention at an inconvenient time?
One act of faith
Listen without rushing someone’s words.
Original meditation by Life of the Saints. This is part of a repeating personal-prayer cycle, not an assignment of the Mass Gospel.
