St. Michael & St. Francis Bulletin October 3rd & 4th , 2015

Pastor: Fr. Harry Tully Twentyseventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

THE TRUSTING CHILD Specialists in the psychological development of children tell us that an infant or child can go immediately from crying to laughing and back to crying again because the child has complete trust in the person who is holding him or her. The child has no inhibitions about expressing the swing of emotions because the child knows that the embrace will continue despite the expression of emotion.

PLACING OUR TRUST IN GOD In today’s Gospel story, the Lord Jesus embraces and blesses the children whom the apostles tried to prevent from coming to him. He simply states that “whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it” (Mark 10:15). Perhaps we can make a connection between what psychologists say about the trust level of the developing child and the words of Jesus. Part of our Christian journey involves learning how to place our trust in God. Sometimes this is a challenge, especially when bad things happen to us or to those whom we love. Just as the small child who fully trusts the loving parent moves through very different expressions of emotion, so, too, when we fully trust God, should we be comfortable moving from expressions of joy to cries of lament. This is an honest way of living the Christian life. Those in whom we have placed our trust are usually those with whom we feel we can share our feelings of deep joy and sharp disappointment. This is the kind of relationship that we are called to cultivate with our God. To accept the kingdom of God like a child may mean a change in the way we approach God. We are assured that when we are honest about who we are, honest with God about our deepest longings, joys, and sorrows, God’s loving embrace will remain always.
