Reflection

“To what shall we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.” ~ Mark 4:30-32

Open our hearts to your presence among us through the wonders of the natural world. Strengthen us in our commitment to care for the environment and open our minds to your gracious presence in the beauty of creation. Amen.
