Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The thanks address Jesus as a baby engaged in learning shapes and colours from videos. Familiar details of infant care enter a statement of religious gratitude. The unusual combination makes the prayer comic by giving its sacred addressee a highly specific, ordinary childhood activity.
