Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
All Commentaries on Luke 12:32 Go To Luke 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Christ styles the elect in this place, his little flock, on account of the greater number of the reprobate; or rather through his love of humility, because though the Church be most numerous, yet he wishes it to continue in humility to the end of the world, and by humility to arrive at the reward which he has promised to the humble. Therefore, in order to console us in our labours, he commands us to seek only the kingdom of heaven, and promises us that the Father will bestow it as a reward upon us. (Ven. Bede)
