This Lord’s Day Word compares the Kingdom of God to the mustard seed (Mark 4:26-35).
The seed figures in Christ’s teaching disciples who ask, ‘increase our faith’ (Luke 17:5-10).
“If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:14-20).

G. K. Chesterton’s poem The Holy of Holies asks, ‘what is in the heart of the smallest of seeds?’

God Almighty, and with Him
Cherubim and Seraphim,
Filling all eternity—
Adonai Elohim.

Our recent Solemnity of Corpus Christi celebrated the Mystery that the tiniest grain of consecrated bread becomes the whole Body of Christ, and each person in Holy Communion receives the whole Body of Christ.

Psalm 92 tells us how to receive and realize the potential of this Grace that Christ offers us, to build up the Kingdom of God, with nothing impossible for us. If we faithfully nurture the seed of the Word, ‘the righteous shall flourish, in the courts of our God.’
