Blessing of the ... Reflect

In today’s gospel reading, we see the disciples trying to protect Jesus from the mothers who want him to bless their . The disciples probably see that Jesus is tired and need a rest. They mean well in trying to secure Jesus’ peace of mind. But they do not understand that it is not a bother for him to they seem to be naturally attracted to him.
The attitude of the mothers is not explained here, but it easy to guess what is going on their mind. They have seen Jesus perform so many marvels with his hands, so many wonderful healings, so many astonishing exorcisms. Surely, they reason, those hands of his are full of God’s power and of God’s goodness. To have those hands rest a moment on the head of their little ones can only result in blessing of all kinds.
