<span style="color:rgb(255,0,0)"><b>† EVANGÉLIUM Szent Máté könyvéből
<br>
<i>Jézus megáldja a gyermekeket. </i><br>
Egyszer gyermekeket vittek Jézushoz, hogy tegye rájuk kezét, és imádkozzék fölöttük. A tanítványok <span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">elutasították </span>őket.<br>
Jézus azonban így szólt: „Hagyjátok csak a gyermekeket, és ne
<span style="color:rgb(102,0,0)">akadályozzátok meg</span> őket, hogy hozzám jöjjenek, mert ilyeneké a mennyek
országa!”<br>
Azzal rájuk tette kezét, majd továbbindult.<br>
Ezek az evangélium igéi.
