Jesus said, “What is the Kingdom of God like?
To what can I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden.
When it was fully grown, it became a large bush
and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches.”

Again he said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?
It is like yeast that a woman took
and mixed in with three measures of wheat flour
until the whole batch of dough was leavened.”

Luke 13:18-21

Point for Reflection
“The law is for walking. And the kingdom of God is on its way. The kingdom is not stagnant, but, even more, the kingdom of God ‘is built’ each day.”
– Pope Francis
