2. Background on the Gospel Reading: After Lent, the Easter
season, and three Sundays of feast days—Pentecost, Most Holy Trinity,
and Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ—the Church returns to
Ordinary Time. This Sunday’s Gospel from Mark carries a significant
message regarding faith and the Kingdom of God.
In Mark’s Gospel, Jesus appears reluctant to reveal his identity as the
Son of God. After performing miracles of healing, he warns those cured
to tell no one (see Mark 1:44, 3:12, 5:43, 7:36, and 8:26). Also, when
preaching, Jesus chooses to speak to the crowds in parables, leaving
them to discern his message. Only to his disciples does he explain the
parable’s meaning, and he does this in private at a later time.
Today’s Gospel Reading consists of two parables about seeds. Inthe
first, Jesus tells those gathered that this is “how it is with the kingdom
of God.” A man scatters seedwhich over time sprouts and develops.
Then when the grain is ripe, the man harvests his crop. The emphasis in
the parable is on the seed, which seemingly has the power to grow on its
own. In this it is like the Kingdom of God. While on earth, Jesus
planted the seeds of the kingdom by his life, miracles, teaching, and
suffering. However, the kingdom is not yet fully established. Although
already present in Jesus and his group of twelve, it has yet to come to
fruition; just as the seedin the parable needs time to grow, so does
God’s kingdom.
The second parable focuses on the tiny mustard seed. Though not the
smallest of all seeds, it is most likely the smallest that a first-century
farmer in Jesus’ part of the world would have sown. Small as the
mustard seedis, it develops into a tree. Though the mustard tree
generally averages only nine to twelve feet in height, it has a wide
expanse and provides a nesting place for birds. Just as the tree
welcomes the birds, so is God’s kingdom welcoming and open to many.
These parables help us discern something about the kingdom of God
and our own faith. In God we live and move and have our being, but
God is a mystery and his kingdom, though present, has not yet come
into its fullness. Today, the Kingdom of God is present in the Church.
The mission of proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom given to the
Apostles is now given to us. But just as seeds needtime to come to
fruition, so does the Kingdom of God. That is why in the Lord’s Prayer,
we pray, “thy kingdom come.” We know that it will come in its fullness
at the end of time. All we need is faith.
