Our brief Gospel passage today underscores the reality that the kingdom of heaven belongs to the childlike. (Mt 19-13-15). It's not childishness, but child likeness that is the key, being sure of who we are and where we are going...toward Jesus. Rooted in God, focused on God, we might also put it, no swerving left or right, but straight forward, despite the allure of the world's glitter and lies. In Marist language, it's SIMPLCITY...one of our major characteristics. "What you see is what you get"...no pretensions, no masks. We love little children for their trusting forthrightness, their wonder, their ability to see what we miss because their vision is not blurred. This quality is not exclusively theirs, we all were born with it and can keep it even through adulthood to the twilight of our lives if we keep our roots in God.
