바람만이 알고 있지

Mark 4:26-34
Jesus said to the crowds: “This is how it is with the Kingdom of God; it is as if a man were to scatter seed on the land and would sleep and rise night and day and the seed would sprout and grow, he knows not how. Of its own accord the land yields fruit, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And when the grain is ripe, he wields the sickle at once, for the harvest has come.”
He said, “To what shall we compare the Kingdom of God, or what parable can we use for it? It is like a mustard seed that, when it is sown in the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on the earth. But once it is sown, it springs up and becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the sky can dwell in its shade.”
With many such parables he spoke the word to them as they were able to understand it.
Without parables he did not speak to them,
but to his own disciples he explained everything in private.

"하느님의 나라는 겨자씨와 같다. 땅에 뿌릴 때에는 세상의 어떤 씨앗보다도 작다. 그러나 땅에 뿌려지면 자라나서 어떤 풀보다도 커지고 큰 가지들을 뻗어, 하늘의 새들이 그 그늘에 깃들일 수 있게 된다.” (마르 4,31-32)

하느님 사랑으로 하늘의 새들이 그 그늘에 깃들일 수 있는 성숙한 신앙인이 될 수 있었으면 합니다.

전능하시고 영원하신 하느님, 저희를 자애로이 이끄시어 사랑하시는 성자의 이름으로 저희가 옳은 일에 힘쓰게 하소서.

전능하신 하느님, 성자의 살과 피로 저희를 기르시니 하느님께서 주시는 생명의 은총으로 저희가 언제나 기뻐하게 하소서.
