Reflections and Caring Conversations

Please use the prompts and prayers below to aid you in your devotions for this week.

  • How can I cultivate a childlike faith? In this passage, Jesus emphasizes the importance of having the faith of a child, which means being humble, trusting, and dependent. What attitudes or behaviors do I need to adopt in order to cultivate this kind of childlike faith in my life?

  • Jesus says that when we welcome the smallest, we welcome him. How do we welcome the smallest/least?
