WELCOMING VULNERABILITY The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (January 21, 2024)
Today is the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, which, in the Philippines, is
celebrated as the Feast of the Santo Niño. The devotion to the Child Jesus is a mark of Philippine Catholicism . In fact, during his pontificate, Innocent XIII approved the special liturgical texts for the Santo Niño’s feast day.

Today, the gospel is from Saint Mark. Here, Jesus was indignant at his disciples for preventing the children from coming to him. Jesus then embraced the children and “blessed them, placing his hands on them.”
The Feast of Santo Niño is an opportune time for us to reflect on our attitude towards children, the most vulnerable in society. To our younger friends, do we like to come to Jesus for his blessing? To those of us who are older, are our ways leading or preventing the youth from desiring to know Jesus?
May each of us look at God’s kingdom with
wonder, sincerity, trust, and gratefulness as
a child would look at a most beautiful gift.
Happy Feast Day!
