fully grown

“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.’” (LK 13: 18-19) 

The beginning is always small and the potential is in the seed. The smallest “becomes a large bush and the birds of the sky dwell in its branches.” We have no idea what could happen when we allow God’s words to grow in us, how many couples and families could “dwell in its branches.” It is so good to be His “little ones.” 

“Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.” (Gospel Acclamation)
