FOR A

The Reading is

from

the

Holy

Gospel

according

to

Luke.

Chap, xviii:

15-17,

26-27,

At

that

time they

brought

unto

Jesus

infants,

that

he

would

touch

them

: but

when his

disciples

saw it

they rebuked

them. But

Jesus

called

them

unto him, and

said

:

Suffer

the

little children

to

come

unto me,

and forbid them not,

for

of

such

is

the kingdom

of

God.

Verily,

I

say

unto

you,

Whosoever

shall

not

receive

the

kingdom

of

God

as a little

child shall in

no

wise

enter

therein.

And they

that heard

it said

:

Who then

can be saved

?

And

he

said: The things which

are

impossible

with

men

are

possible

with

God.

:

O

Lord,

who

guardest little

children

in

this present

life,

and also in

that

which is

to come,

and

because

of

the

simplicity

of their

knowledge and

their

innocence

fillest

up

Abraham's

bosom, and givest rest in

places

of

light

where
