Tuesday of Week 30 in Ordinary Time

What is the Kingdom of God like.
It is like a mustard seed.
But our faith is against doubt,  all too weak a dyke.
We cannot in scripture understand what we read.I was wondering at someone’s dementia and lack of reason.
Then I remembered my own forgetfulness.
Suddenly I was filled with compassion.
We are all drifting away from youth’s fitness.

To be compassionate.
Is so much nicer a feeling.
Than to be dispassionate.
A better way of living.

Where others now are.
We will follow like a rapidly ageing car.

……..

If you’re judgemental
More than compassionate
You will get nowhere

………

See Luke 13: 18-21
