The Kingdom of God starts from small things

Father John Pilis, Pr, explains that the Kingdom of God begins with small and seemingly insignificant things rather than grand gestures. Using the biblical imagery of a mustard seed and yeast, he notes that the mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds known to Palestinian farmers, yet it grows into a large tree.

Father Pilis describes the Kingdom of God as working quietly like yeast in dough. While yeast is not visible to the eye, it changes the nature of the dough by making it rise and soften. He states that this process often works silently to change the human heart, altering how people think, act, and love once faith enters their lives.
