And they were bringing to him little children in order that he might lay his hands on them. But the disciples rebuked them. 

Jesus having seen this, was angry and said to them: ‘Let the little children come to me, do not try to stop them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to ones such as these. 

Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child (receives it), will not enter it.’

 And having put his arms around them he blessed them, placing his hands on them. 

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art –
Thou my best thought, by day or by night;
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.
