Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Kingdom of God”: Jesus in today’s Gospel proclaims that the “Kingdom of God is like a “dot size” mustard seed, that can grow into a huge tree to shelter birds of the air with its great branches. Likewise, if we are obedient to God’s Will, our faith can become so strong that it can withstand the heavy crosses of our life.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 13:18-21
Jesus said, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with? It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden: it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air sheltered in its branches.’
Again he said, ‘What shall I compare the kingdom of God with? It is like the yeast a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour till it was leavened all through.’
