Gospel : Matthew 18:1-5, 10

1 In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, "Who then is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?"

2 Jesus called a little child to himself, and set him in the middle of them,

3 and said, "Most certainly I tell you, unless you turn, and become as little children, you will in no way enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

4 Whoever therefore humbles himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.

5 Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,

10 See that you don't despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.

Baruch 4:5-12, 27-29

5 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.

6 You were sold to the nations, but not for destruction: because you moved God to wrath, you were delivered to your adversaries.

7 For you provoked him that made you by sacrificing to demons, and not to God.

8 You forgat the everlasting God, that brought you up; you grieved also Jerusalem, that nursed you.

9 For she saw the wrath that is come upon you from God, and said, Hearken, you women that dwell about Sion: for God has brought upon me great mourning;

10 for I have seen the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting has brought upon them.

11 For with joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.

12 Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many: for the sins of my children am I left desolate; because they turned aside from the law of God,

27 Be of good cheer, O my children, and cry to God: for you shall be remembered of him that has brought these things upon you.

28 For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, return and seek him ten times more.

29 For he that brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation.
