It is like a mustard seed which at the time of its sowing in the soil is the smallest of all the seeds
Mk.4:31
Jesus is describing the kingdom of God. It starts small, insignificant and then grows into something mighty giving shelter, protection and nurture.
Christian life is like living in back-to-front land. Small is powerful. Less is more. The weak get preference. I become lesser in order to become greater. Leaders are servants. Children enter the kingdom ahead of adults. No wonder our conversions are Copernican and no wonder they are so liberating.
Saints Timothy and Titus, please pray for us.
