- 2 And Jesus, calling to himself a little child, placed him in their midst.
- 3 And he said: “Amen I say to you, unless you change and become like little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
- 4 Therefore, whoever will have humbled himself like this little child, such a one is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
- 5 And whoever shall accept one such little child in my name, accepts me.
- 10 See to it that you do not despise even one of these little ones. For I say to you, that their Angels in heaven continually look upon the face of my Father, who is in heaven.

Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.

Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
