5 November 26, 2017 Proclaiming Jesus Christ as Lord Page 5 Michelle Martin November 9, 2017 In the dark It was two o clock in the morning, or maybe three. Teresa and I were curled up in a hotel bed, softer and probably objectively more comfortable than our beds at home, but still unfamiliar. Across the room, Tony and Frank were snoring in the other bed. Teresa rolled over, sat up and said, What? I pulled her back down, stroked her hair to settle her, and said, Nothing. I love you. She went back to sleep. I was awake a few minutes longer, listening to my family sleeping around me until I also went back to sleep. It was a moment in the dark in the midst of a weekend hockey tournament, three days of teenage boys and cold ice rinks and too much restaurant food. There was really no reason Teresa had to come on the weekend. She could have stayed home with one parent while the other went with Frank. But she s young enough that going to stay in a hotel, getting to stay up late and go to the pool, is exciting enough to make it worthwhile for her, and we like to travel as a family as much as we can. turn into family stories years down the road, the ones that our children will tell each other as their own children sit around and get bored listening to their parents reminisce. But traveling also means sometimes waking up in the middle of the night in an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room with unfamiliar noises. When that happens, what Teresa needs is reassurance that she is safe and loved. That s what we all need, throughout our lives. Children usually get that sense of security from their parents: the knowledge that they are cared for, that they matter, that they are not alone, even when the world seems dark. As people of faith, we get that from our relationship with God. Jesus called God the Father Abba, casting him in the role of an affectionate parent, not a cold, distant authority figure. Over and over in the Gospels, Jesus tells his followers that children are valuable, are to be cared for and loved, and should be their models in faith. Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven, Jesus says. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me (Mt 18:3-5). When I wake up in the middle of the night, it helps to remember that I am not alone either. I can reach out in prayer sort of the equivalent of sitting up in bed and saying, What?

7 Whatever you did for one of the least - Matthew 25: Jesus told about his return. "The Son of Man will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come here. Here's the kingdom he has waiting for you. I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. When I was a stranger, you welcomed me. I was naked and you gave me clothes, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me'. Then those people will ask, 'When did we do these things?'. Here is the truth: whatever you did for one of the least of my brothers, you did for me. Copyright 2017 All right reserved. This site is a project of MMBOX PRODUCTION
