Today we celebrate the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Ordinary Time is for us sometimes the extraordinary, because we can realize our real sense of faith.
Today’s Gospel gives us the example of the smallest seed on the world which is the mustard seed, to compare to our faith and it says that is enough for our faith to make the things which are known as a miracle. From the other side we need for ourselves the deeds which are the double check for our faith. And the good service for our neighbors as a servant will be the best realization of our faith in practice.
The Eucharist is the one big proof which we are making in our private lives to double check that we believe in God and His Kingdom. We come at the Mass and from the human looking we come for nothing. We hear some words, and we see the action which priest is making and what for? But this is the miracle of our faith that after this service we are becoming better Christians, better fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends etc. By this we worship God, and we give Him our heartfelt praise.
„If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted’….”

- The Church is our family and like any family we need to be able to live together. Bishops invite the Missionaries of Charity to open ne homes all the time and often help us find the houses.

Reflections
- Have you ever been glad to play a minor role in a group you admired? Does that experience throw some light on this parable?
- In what way do you experience the Church as God’s household?
- How could you help others to know the church as “home?”
