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:
Can you suppress the growth of the kingdom of God in your life? Yes, you
can suppress it that’s why many do not grow in faith. But as far as Jesus is
concerned He surely wants you to allow the kingdom of God to grow and blossom
within you so that through you others would benefit from it.
How wonderful it is if we only take time to share whatever knowledge that
we have about Jesus. If we do so we surely can make a big impact in our
fellowmen lives. By sharing Jesus we can give hope to the hopeless and we can
give life to the lifeless in spirit.
Through our baptism God plants the seed of our faith. As we grow up we
start to have an awareness of our spiritual identity. Some of us nurture this
spiritual identity by continuously thirsting for Jesus, so it would grow.
Others would simply ignore this tiny seed of faith that Jesus had planted; this
is the reason why some of us do not grow in faith.
If you will not nurture this seed of faith, how would it grow and how
would others know through you that there’s a God who saves, a God who forgives
a God who loves them so dearly? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
