Mark 4:26–34
The reign of God is like a mustard seed.
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.

Sharing the Gospel
Think of how much you have grown since you were born. To
see you now, it is hard to imagine you ever wore baby clothes.
God's kingdom started out small, and it keeps growing, too.
God's kingdom needs people like you to love Jesus and to learn
from him. Let God's word sink into your life. As you grow
closer to Jesus, God's kingdom will grow.
Prayer
Jesus, help me learn from you and love you, so that God's
kingdom will grow.

about Jesus.

Memorize John 3:16 this week. Let God's love sink into your
heart. Treasure what you learn from Jesus. ©LPi
Much Obliged
"Let us implore the grace to
hunger for God,
with an insatiable desire to
receive what he has
prepared for us."
-Pope Francis
Recently I received an angry phone call from
someone who wanted me to tell all the bishops to
reinstate the obligation for Sunday Mass immediately.
Less than three hours later, I received an equally angry
email demanding I advocate forcefully for the complete
opposite. Beyond the immediate chuckle I had thinking
about how I can barely get my four children to do
anything, let alone convince the apostles’ successors to
issue decrees, I began to reflect on both requests and
the idea of obligation. In my ministry, I often try to help
leaders articulate clearly that which we might imply or
expect. Likewise, I have witnessed firsthand the
significant difference in terms of transformation for
individuals or communities who choose a path versus
those who have one forced upon them. As all of these
thoughts distracted me during Mass this Sunday, I was
called to attention by our parochial vicar posing the
questions, "What does this obligation of Sunday
Eucharist do to me and what difference has the
absence of the obligation had on me?"
I couldn’t help but think about how often I hear
others and the voices in my own head lament
"obligations." Many of these obligations are usually
much less explicit and much less important than our call
to worship the Lord. "I couldn’t say no to that request" or
"I had to go to that baby shower" or "He will be so mad
if I don’t do this or that." So often, I treat the idea of
obligation as a burden or a bludgeon rather than
something for which I am obliged, aka grateful. It is true
that our obligation to participate in Sunday Eucharist is
one of the most clearly articulated commands from the
Lord (both Old Testament and New Testament). "Do
this in memory of me." It’s likewise just as true, that
Jesus instituted the Eucharist with a choice, "Take this,
all of you." Even in His command, the Lord, in His divine
love, always engages our freedom. As I prepared to
receive Holy Communion, my reflection came back to
one key question. Whether it be as a husband, father,
son, CEO, or disciple, am I living a life of obligation or
am I living a life that is much obliged? Am I fulfilling my
obligations in freedom and with intentionality? Am I
grateful and open to how they can transform me? As we
come from this solemnity of the Most Holy Body and
Blood of Christ, let’s give thanks for the obligation to
worship. Let’s remember that when we come to
worship, we are not only coming to remember, but
actually coming to experience, in every Mass, the
ultimate obligation fulfilled by Jesus’ in His sacrifice for
us.
St. Anthony Can Find Anything —
Even You
“Tony, Tony, come around!
Something is lost and it must be found.”
Did you learn this one when you were a kid? In
my experience there are even a lot of lapsed Catholics
— or people who were never Catholic at all — who
know that when you lose something, St. Anthony
becomes your best friend. Missing keys? Pray to St.
Anthony. Can’t find your favorite sweater? St. Anthony.
Forget where you parked your car in the mall lot?
St. Anth— okay, you get the idea. Whatever it is, large
or small, important or trivial, Tony has a reputation for
finding the lost things.
It’s a devotion that can seem a little like
superstition — witchcraft, even? — if you don’t really
understand it. Mumble an incantation to a dead guy
and you’re guaranteed to find your sunglasses. But as
with most traditions that are old, beloved and effective,
looking a little closer reveals the truth of the matter.
When we lose something really important, what
do we do? We make the whole household stop what
they’re doing to join the search. Having St. Anthony as
a friend means you ask him to stop what he’s doing to
help, too. And how he helps is by taking the matter
exactly where all matters need to go — straight to the
feet of Christ.
Here’s the real genius of St Anthony: he takes
the most mundane, commonplace occurrence —
misplacing socks — into an encounter with the divine
and truly all things great and small are gifts from God.
“GOD’S LOVE HAS BEEN POURED INTO OUR HEARTS THROUGH THE He grabs our hand and points to the cross. “That’s
what you’re looking for,” he tells us.
HOLY SPIRIT THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN US.” - ROMANS 5:5
