Matilda leads both Morning and Evening Prayer this week. Today’s Advent Morning Prayer – Matilda considers a passage from Matthew’s gospel, chapter 19, verses 13 to 15. This scripture considers Jesus’ disarmingly simple response to the stern way that his disciples turned away the people who brought their children to be blessed by him;”…Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.’ And he laid his hands on them and went on his way.”
