The two parables of Jesus, the Parable of the Scattered Seed and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, offer valuable insights into our spiritual growth.

The first parable highlights the importance of time in allowing the seed to grow. Similarly, when we grow in the kingdom of God, we must give ourselves time to grow. The kingdom of God is a process.

The Parable of the Mustard Seed complements this message by reminding us that everything begins with a small step, like the tiny mustard seed. Human growth follows a similar pattern - from infancy to old age, we pass through various stages of life.

These two parables inspire us not to be discouraged or disappointed by our failures or false starts. Many saints embarked on their spiritual journeys at different stages of life.

We, too, can start anew today, sowing the seed of God's word in the soil of our hearts.
