Be Like A Child.

Last Sunday (January 18) was the Feast of the Sto. Niño. Father Hernan's homily centered on the Gospel's challenge for to us to be childlike, as it is pleasing in the eyes of the Lord.

He gave these three characteristics of a child:
1. Innocence - "tabula rasa" (blank sheet); just like a child, our minds should be pure and free of evil/negative thoughts
2. Humility - acceptance of what you have and who you are; just like a child, we should be content with what God has given us; to be humble is to accept that God is and will always be greater than us, and that there's really nothing we could ever be proud of, nothing we could ever claim our own (for everything comes from, and belongs to Him)
3. Dependence to Parents - just as a child is dependent to his/her parents, so must we be dependent to God

Just thought of sharing.

God bless everyone! ^_^
