ELEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME: Today we hear in the Gospel the Parable of the Mustard Seed. This parable speaks of how the smallest of all seeds of the Earth grows into the largest of plants and reminds us that, through God’s care and blessing, great things can grow from even the smallest of efforts. It is important that we place our thoughts, our words, our actions, our ideas and our inspirations into God’s hands. Let us invite God to bless and to use all of these things for the greater good of God’s Kingdom and for the greater good of the Church on Earth.
