"This is how it is with the

kingdom of God; it is as if a

man were to scatter seed on

the land? Of its own accord

the land yields fruit, first the

blade, then the ear, then the

full grain in the ear. And when

the grain is ripe, he wields the

sickle at once, for the harvest

has come." - Mk 4:26, 28-29

Bulletin Submissions Items for the bulletin must be submit-

ted no later than noon on Tuesday for

FROM FR. MICHAEL

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today Jesus teaches about the Kingdom of God. In truth, all of Jesus’ teachings

are about Gods kingdom. Jesus uses the image of a seed to convey a deep yet

simple truth about Gods kingdom. Seeds, for example a mustard see, are in-

credibly small, yet, if tended well, grow into large plants. So too with the king-

dom of God. Often it is the small, simple, every day acts of forgiveness, love,

understanding and compassion that, if communicated through our words and

actions, bring about large examples of the Kingdom of God. We are created for

Gods kingdom; we are called to bring about Gods kingdom. Every time we

strive to love God and others, we are bringing about the Kingdom of God. May

we be ever more kingdom people this week.

Peace and all good,

Fr Michael
