Lord Jesus Christ, who rejects none, help us to receive those of no importance to the world, that we might be instruments of your love to everyone who needs your acceptance, comfort, and grace, through you who delights in all your children and intercedes for us all before the Father in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘Then he took a little child and put it among them, and taking it in his arms he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”‘ – Mark 9:36-37
