2. He told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.’
(Jesus’ words as recorded in Matthew 13: 31-32)

4. Dear God, We acknowledge our world and our society are far from perfect. For this we are sorry, and we seek your forgiveness for the times we have hurt others, hurt your creation and hurt you. Lord in your Mercy (Hear our prayer). Dear God, We pray for a greater understanding of what it means to be part of your Kingdom. Help us to know what true love, justice, forgiveness and compassion are really like.
