See that you do not despise any of these little ones; for I tell you,
their angels in heaven continually see the face of my heavenly Father.
What do you think of this? If someone has a hundred sheep and one of them strays,
won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside, and go to look for the stray one?
And I tell you, when he finally finds it, he is more pleased about it, than about
the ninety-nine that did not go astray. It is the same with your Father in heaven.
Your Father in heaven doesn’t want even one of these little ones to perish.
REFLECTION:
A six-year-old boy was abandoned by his family in Nairobi, Kenya. At his tender age,
he learned how to survive by selling scraps until a family employed him. He then searched for his family to no avail.
Thirty-six years later, he was already a successful businessman. His dream: to rescue as many children so
that they will not suffer like he did. He and his wife opened a home—not an orphanage. He became the “father to the fatherless.”
His name is Charles Mully. Since 1989, the year his first home opened, he pulled 12,000 children from the streets.
Many of them became successful themselves. When asked about the guiding voice of his mission, he would say he still thinks like a child.
He does not hate. He just wants to gather as many playmates as he can and assures everyone they will never be abandoned.
