ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN
ORDINARY TIME
****************************************
In the first parable in today’s Gospel , Jesus
tells those gathered that this is “how it is
with the kingdom of God.” A man scatters
seed which sprouts and develops. When the
grain is ripe, the man harvests his crop. The
emphasis in the parable is on the seed,
which seemingly has the power to grow on
its own. In this it is like the Kingdom of
God. Jesus planted the seeds of the king-
dom by his life, miracles, teaching, and
suffering. However, the kingdom is not yet
fully established. Although already present
in Jesus and his group of twelve, it has yet
to come to fruition; just as the seed in the
parable needs time to grow, so does God’s
kingdom. The second parable focuses on
the tiny mustard seed. It is most likely the
smallest that a first-century farmer in Jesus’
part of the world would have sown. The
small develops into a tree, averaging gener-
ally only nine to twelve feet in height with
a wide expanse and provides a nesting place
for birds. Just as the tree welcomes the
birds, so is God’s kingdom welcoming and
open to many. These parables help us dis-
cern something about the kingdom of God
and our own faith. In God we live and move
and have our being, but God is a mystery
and his kingdom, though present, has not
yet come into its fullness. Today, the King-
dom of God is present in the Church. The
mission of proclaiming the Good News of
the Kingdom given to the Apostles is now
given to us. But just as seeds need time to
come to fruition, so does the Kingdom of
God. That is why in the Lord’s Prayer, we
pray, “thy kingdom come.” We know that it
will come in its fullness at the end of time.
All we need is faith.

A FATHER IS
There in every memory
See his love and care
Strength and hands to count on
Freely he does share
Provider, toil so faithfully
To make our dreams come true
Give strong and tender discipline
Though it its hard to do
A Father is God’s chosen one
To lead the family
And point to His will for life
Of love and harmony
