TOPIC: DO YOU DEPEND ON GOD THE WAY CHILDREN DEPEND ON THEIR PARENTS? First Reading: Zechariah 8: 1-8 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 102: 16-18, 19-21, 29 and 22-23 Alleluia: Psalms 103: 21 Gospel: Matthew 18: 1-5, 10 Why do children rely on their parents? It is because they know they could depend on them. Jesus encourages us to do the same, to look to Him for the things we need, and put our complete trust in Him to direct our lives. It is another way of declaring that our faith and confidence is in God, and not on people, circumstances, or worldly provisions. Let us not allow arrogance, or the thinking that doing things on our own without God's help, prevent us from securing a place in His heavenly Kingdom. This is the 1255th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Eric Villanueva, Mission Head for CFC Europe and the Americas, as he brings us today's reflection. All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
