Commentary: Matthew 18:12-14

In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost.

Jesus, help me to ask which little sheep of the hundred you want my help to find today. I don’t want to overlook anyone I might unexpectedly encounter today—neighbors, cashiers, delivery people: they are all a part of your flock.

P.S. If you are looking for a great advent calendar that is engaging and formative for 3-5-year-olds, I’m using this one this year from Magnificat and we are hooked! Each day tells the story of the days leading up to Christmas from the perspective of a lamb, it’s sweet and does a great job of setting the tone for the season.
