A Childlike Faith teaches us to be always in UNION WITH GOD OUR FATHER, through our LORD JESUS CHRIST and in the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
The Beauty of this Childlike Faith teaches us that AUTHENTIC SPIRITUAL MATURITY is a SURRENDERED LIFE to our GREAT GOD AND KING.
It teaches us that WE ARE NOTHING ON OUR OWN (for that is the childish attitude of the world's systems!), for HE is our FULLNESS, HE is OUR EVERYTHING!
This FAITH that perfects our SELFLESS LOVE and animates our HOPE.
This LIFE IN ALL ITS FULLNESS AND SPLENDOR, is our HEAVENLY AND ETERNAL BANQUET that we already CELEBRATE AND HAVE A FORETASTE IN THE MOST BLESSED SACRAMENT OF THE DIVINE LITURGY OF THE MOST SUBLIME SACRIFICE OF THE MASS!
May we always be HIS CHILDREN and let us, with TRUST AND CONFIDENCE, continue to proclaim and manifest with our lives: ABBA! FATHER!
