Friday of week 3 in Ordinary Time
2 Samuel 11:1-4,5-10,13-17
Psalm 50(51):3-7,10-11
Mark 4:26-34
In today’s Gospel, Jesus employs the metaphor of the mustard seed to illustrate the gradual development of faith. The mustard seed possesses the potential to grow into a large tree, providing a resting place for birds of the air. Faith matures through quiet, humble patience.
Do you permit God’s word to cultivate fruitfulness in your life? Let us, therefore, recommit ourselves daily to embody the virtues of faith, patience, charity, wisdom, and humility.
