Reflection

What is the kingdom of God like? It does not resemble our notion of an earthly kingdom, Jesus says, as he uses simple images to describe the way God’s rule grows in our midst. Once sown, the seed develops without the aid of the farmer, who returns only at harvest time to reap. In the parable of the mustard seed we see that God’s rule, like Jesus’ ministry, has insignificant beginnings. From the smallest seed grows the biggest shrub, which nevertheless remains unpretentious whether as seed or tree. Not its dignity but its function of providing shelter for birds is important. So it is with the Church. The language of parable allows us to within the company of the disciples, the Church. Ezekiel’s prophecy uses impressive royal imagery for God’s promise to raise up a protector for Israel. St. Paul expresses the great longing which should be felt by every Christian: to please God so that we may join him in our heavenly home.

RECENT TWEET BY POPE FRANCIS

The Holy Spirit gives us strength we need to achieve holiness in the midst of our everyday lives.

WORLD DAY AGAINST CHILD LABOUR

(was on June 12)

Pope Francis came out strongly against the scourge, denouncing those who shatter the hope of the little ones. “Children must be able to play, study and grow in a peaceful environment. Woe to anyone who stifles their joyful impulse to hope!”

The UN’s International Labour Organization instituted this annual observance in 2002 to focus attention on the global extent of child labour and the action and efforts needed to eliminate it.

There have been 152 million victims of this horrible practice.
