GOSPEL READING IN THE MASS FOR TODAY: Then children were brought to Him that He might lay His hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people; but Jesus said, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” And He laid His hands on them and went away. (Matthew 19:13-15)
