Monday of Week 17 in Ordinary Time

 

 

 

The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed.
That a man took and sowed in his field.
From this what can we read.
We will survive if to God’s will, we yield.

It is the smallest of all the seeds.
But when grown, it becomes a tree.
Larger than all the other plants and reeds.
Where birds can flock to its lea.

From this what can we learn.
That there is hope in the smallest.
For what then should we yearn,
Perhaps to be the humblest.

Into that small seed.
Everything we can read.

……

The small mustard seed
Grows into a mighty tree
And we will aswell

……

See Matthew 13: 31- 35
