Today's Gospel + image + catechesis
”Then John said in reply, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow in our company.” Jesus said to him, “Do not prevent him, for whoever is not against you is for you.”

Today we are surprised reading the debate that the Gospel tells. We even feel embarrassed: disciples who are living with Jesus - the Son of God! - arguing to see who is more important ... We could say that those "grown-up men" behave like children. I wish they were more like children and less like adults! Jesus invites them to imitate children (in their simplicity, smallness ...). “He took a little child and stood him by his side. Then He said to them, 'Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me'.”
-Either we become "children", or we are left without Jesus. Perhaps it was not an accident that God came to the world as a child!
