LITTLE IS GREAT
A spark can set a great fire aflame. Turbulent river originate from an insignificant spring of water. A pinch of yeast ferments the dough of container. In today’s Gospel passage Jesus compares the Kingdom of Heaven to a tiny mustard seed from which emerges a great and gigantic tree. Random acts of kindness, love, forgiveness, peace and gentleness can cause a ripple effect around paving way to unity, freedom, fraternity and justice, 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. Jesus compares faith and the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed. Our little acts with great faith can make our earth a heaven. Strive to contribute thay little 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: “Lord make me an instrument of your love, peace and joy.”
