[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel compares the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed.
It seems to be a law of the spiritual life that God wants good things to
start small and grow over time. *We’re tempted to say, "You’re God. Just
get on with it. Do it."



* But why would God work the way he does? We might attempt a few
explanations. It is a commonplace of the Bible that God rejoices in our
cooperation. He wants us to involve ourselves—through freedom,
intelligence, creativity—in what he is doing. And so he plants seeds, and
he wants us to cultivate them. "Francis, rebuild my Church." Heck, God
could have rebuilt his Church, but he wanted St. Francis to get involved.
God could have renewed the spiritual life of Christianity through a great
infusion of grace, but he inspired St. Anthony to leave everything behind
and go live alone in the desert. There’s something else. When things start
small, they can fly under the radar for a time, while they gain strength
and heft and seriousness. And those involved can be tested and tried.*
