LITTLE IS GREAT
In today’s Gospel passage Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a tiny mustard seed from which emerges a great and gigantic tree. A pinch of yeast ferments the dough of container; a spark can set a great fire aflame and; a magnificent river originate from an insignificant spring of water. All great things have humble beginnings. Random acts of kindness, love, forgiveness, peace and gentleness can cause a ripple effect around paving way to unity, freedom, fraternity and justice thereby actualising the Kingdom of God around us.
A right word, an inspiring act, an understanding gesture, a little thoughtfulness, an attitude of let go, a bit of tolerance, a node of sympathy and a gentle tap of appreciation has the great power to turn the world upside down. Our mite is a might in the hands of God. Strive to contribute your mite towards the dream of Jesus, the Kingdom of God with all faith and trust in him. May our mind and heart resonate with the prayer: “May your Kingdom come O Lord.”
