PRAYER PAUSE

A MUSTARD
SEED
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The kingdom of heaven is like a
mustard seed …” (Luke 13:18-21)
Reflection. It’s a teasing image. This is a tiny
seed which grows into a mighty tree. The Church is not the kingdom but it is a
seed bed where the kingdom has a chance to grow. The kingdom itself includes so
much more than we mean when we speak of the Church. There are so many good
works that men and women have undertaken without any reference to the Church.
Still, the Church acts as a leaven and makes many things happen.
Prayer. Lord, help
us to engage with the issues we face; help us be some sort of leaven that gives
new life. Amen
