My husband and I took our lunch hour and went to Mass today. The priest had an interesting homily. He talked about being "humble like children" and what that really meant. 2,000 years ago, children had no rights, they were at the will and mercy of their parents. They were truly humble, and we need to be humble to our Father.

It was interesting because he also talked about the power we have, the power of modern technology, intellect, etc., and how sometimes it was easy to be prideful, because of these great power we have. So it's even harder sometimes to be truly humble "like children".

I also like to think that children are innocent and pure of heart and full of trust and complete faith. An infant fully and completely trusts in his mother to feed and nurture him; we need to put the same faith and trust in God to feed and nurture us.

God bless.
