Gospel: Luke
13:18-21
Jesus
said, “What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a
mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden. When it was fully
grown, it became a large bush and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.”
Again he
said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a
woman took and mixed
in with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was
leavened.”

Reflection:
Where does
the kingdom of God begin in your life?
The
Kingdom of God starts small in your heart like a tiny mustard seed. If you
would nurture it, it will have life until it grows big. Where others could
benefit from it thus you become God’s instrument of blessing for others.
But
others don’t allow God’s Kingdom to take root in their hearts. They prefer the
things of this world than God. They choose the temporary over what is eternal,
the worldly over Godly. We should not
commit the same mistake.
We should
allow God to have His dwelling in our heart no matter how small then we have to
nurture it so that it could grow. Nurture it with prayers, reading the bible
and other books that will help us grow in faith.
We should
also strive to be present at Holy Mass whenever we could most especially during
Sundays. And of course we should live our faith. If we would do all of these
the kingdom of God would surely be upon us.
