Children's Spirituality Quotes

“At another level, Jesus invited his followers to treat children sacramentally. He offers us ordinary bread and wine and says that when we receive these we receive him. He also took an ordinary child, saying, ‘Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me’ (Luke 9.48). In Chris Jamber’s view this is virtually the institution of another sacrament: ‘Jesus is the sacrament of God, the child is the sacrament of Jesus. Children are “thin places” where the mystical clue to the presence of the divine can break through.”
