The Eleventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

The

forAllAges

This Sunday as we continue our journey into Ordinary time, Mark’s

Gospel (Mk. 4: 26-34) tells of Jesus’ giving the parable of the mustard

seed. Jesus describes to the Disciples that a man scatters seed on his

land and how, during many days and nights, the seed would sprout and

grow. The man does not know how the seed sprouts, grows, and finally

bears fruit ready to be harvested.

Jesus compares, with this parable, how it is in the kingdom of God.

The mustard seed, the tiniest of seeds, sown in the ground, springs up

and becomes the largest of plants with branches for the birds to shade

in. Jesus spoke these parables to the Disciples in private so they were

able to understand.

Our prayer times can be our personal and private time when we are

alone with the Lord, sitting quietly, sowing the seeds of the messages

being sent.

The seed is the Word of God, Christ is the sower.

All who come to him will live forever.

There are many ways to support the parish financially. You can mail your offertory envelope in or make online donations. Electronic donations can be made on a one-time basis or monthly donations can be established using your checking, savings, or credit/debit card.
