LJ2021 - Day 22 - Woman

Lenten Journey 2021:
Faith in a Post Pandemic World
by Fr. Vazken Movsesian


Day 22: Women
The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches. The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into... flour until it worked all through the dough. - Jesus (Matthew 13)

The Kingdom of Heaven grows powerfully from small and humble beginnings. While a tiny mustard seed extends wildly into a bush in nature, flour needs the addition of yeast to rise to dough. Without the measure, timing, organization, coordination and care - reflections of love for the result - it remains but a hardened paste.
