"Even the Hairs on Your Head Are All Numbered" (Luke 12:7)

Children's Rosary at St. Marguerite Parish
Brookfield CT

Our Lord is often referred to as the Good Shepherd and indeed a shepherd counts his flock.  But Our Lord goes further than to count us one by one he is caring for us so tenderly and so completely that each hair on our head is numbered.  It is a reality hard to fathom since for my own part so many details seem to slip past me on a daily basis.  There is a realization that we were not intended to be able to keep track of things to that level of detail.  Indeed our calling is one of trust and dependence on a Father who cares for us so completely that through complete dependence and trust in Him we have nothing to fear.  Trusting in Our Lord does not mean we will be free of suffering for Our Lord often draws a soul deep within His heart through suffering, purifying it further. Although suffering in this life may even take the form of injustice which at times is a hard reality to accept we are promised that "nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known." (Luke 12:2) For Our Lord lead us on the way of humility and meekness.  

Once I ask one of the children why he thought the Children's Rosary was important and he said, because it shows God we trust in Him.  Indeed to come before Our Lord in prayer is to show Our Lord such time is important to us and that we believe He hears our prayers.  To turn to Our Lord in prayer is to accept humbly we cannot do this alone we need Our Father in Heaven to take care of us.  We are all weak and in need of a tender hand to guide and care for us.  Whether we are truly little children by age or have been a member of this world many years we are all children before Our Lord.  There is a feeling the more we affiliate ourselves with children in prayer the more we begin to see ourselves as not much different from a small child running to a parent for love and protection.  

Please consider joining the children in prayer.  The children always pray for those unifying prayers with them.
