The Kingdom of heaven is like…

“The Kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.” (MK 13: 33)

It is so difficult to speak about something which is completely spiritual in our language. This is the reason why Our Lord decided to speak in parables: “I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world.” Three measures were enough to feed 100 hundred people. This enormous amount points to the greatness of the Kingdom. It reminds us that the fruits come from God and from us—our agreement to work with God.

“The Father willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” (Gospel Acclamation)
