Opis

"The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough" (Matthew 13:33). When Ann and John came home, they saw that her mother has been preparing a dough, to make breads. -Give me the yeast, please, said de mother. When Ann give it to her, she stayed to notice what her mother was doing and she could see that the dough started to get big and bigger when the yeast was adding. -It is necessary just a small amount, after it ferments, it leave the whole dough, said the mother. -It is like the word of God when it is spoken, it can fill the Spirit and the Soul of people, said John. -Yes- said the mother, Jesus teach us about the kingdom of God is like this dough, when it raises in the heart it fill the whole heart with true life. I mean, when people can have the word of God and they believe and receive in their hearts, they can see the kingdom of God through His word and the Holy Spirit and the heart can be filled with his love. God show us this better way to live: "If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when that which is perfect come, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
