The story of the seed that grows all on its own:

The farmer who plants the seed knows the process: first the seed, then the green shoot, the

leaf, the ear and the grain. The farmer knows how to wait and will not cut the stalk before it is

time, but he does not know from where the power comes for the soil, the rain, the sun and the

seed to make a seed turn into fruit. That’s what the kingdom of God is like. It’s a process.

There are stages and points of growth. It takes time and happens in time. The fruit comes at

the right time but no one can explain its mysterious power. No one is its master. Only God!

The story of the tiny mustard seed that turns into something very big:

The mustard seed is small, but it grows, to the point where the birds can make their nests in

its branches. That’s what the Kingdom is like. It begins as something very small. Then it grows

and spreads its branches. The parable does not say who the birds are. The answer to that

question will come later in the Gospel. The text suggests that it refers to the pagans who will

not be able to get into the community and be sharers in the Kingdom.

It is wonderful to see Jesus, again and

again, looking at life and at what’s

happening around Him, for things and

images that might help the people to

detect and to experience the presence of

the Kingdom.

In today’s Gospel, again, he tells two short

stories about things that happen every day

in our lives: the story of the seed that

grows all on its own, and the story of the

tiny mustard seed that grows to be so big.
