Today, St. Mark reminds us that the smallest of seeds (mustard) can provide for the needs of the birds of the sky. So it is with each of us. As small and insignificant as we may feel. Despite our lowliness, the Lord can use us in the most extra-ordinary ways. The simple smile, the warm handshake, a kind word, can change the entire day for another person. To often we feel that there is nothing we can do to change the world. The angel told Mary, "nothing is impossible for God." Do we really understand the full meaning of the angels' words? Are we open to the Lord changing our lives so we may change the lives of others?
With faith the size of a mustard seed, we can change the world. Believe it!
