THE TINY MUSTARD SEED AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
THE TINY MUSTARD SEED AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
What is the Kingdom of God like?
"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.” (Luke 13: 18 - 21).
Tuesday, 27th October 2026 in the 30th Week in Ordinary Time.
“What is the Kingdom of God like?"
The Kingdom of God can be compared to many things.
You can compare it to the yeast that leavens dough, or to a fishing net that catches all types of fish.
The Kingdom of God has been compared to a wedding feast.
What is your favorite comparison of the Kingdom of God?
My favorite comparison is this:
"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.”
This is what happens when the tiny mustard seed is planted in your soul.
It grows and gives birth to your awareness of the Person of the Holy Spirit. Then of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The seed continue to grow and develop branches.
Awareness of the Church and the Sacraments.
Now you know Holy Scriptures, Rosary and so forth.
Now the tiny seed planted by the Lord Jesus Christ is becoming a bush, ready to welcome birds of the sky.
The seed, the
Word of God is planted in your heart when you were baptized.
You cultivate and nourish the Seed daily through daily prayers, reading and studying the word of God, daily examination of conscience, frequent Confession, and spiritual reading.
Prayer is the key and efficient cause of blessings.
October is the Holy Rosary Month.
"The whole purpose of the Rosary is to lead to this deep experience of Our Lady, who together with Jesus breathes the Spirit into us." Thomas Keating).
The Great Month of October ends in a few days. If you have been faithful, be prepared for a rich harvest. The Rosary can be compared to the tiny mustard seed that the Holy Spirit planted in our heart this October. If we nourish this tiny mustard seed and allow it to grow, what will it become in 10 years, 20 years or 30 years?
