Scripture: He told them another
parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven which a woman took and hid
in three measures of flour, till it was all leavened." Matt
13:33
Reflection: What
to do with a leaven? If it is kept by itself then it gets spoilt and the leaven
perishes. Leaven by itself was
considered evil and hence one had to be cautious about the yeast of the
Pharisee. Just as flour brings good out of leaven, likewise, God alone can
bring good out of evil.
How
about handling the leaven of our lives? We can do well by beginning with the
three, not the measures of flour but with the Holy Trinity and see for yourself
how the living God; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit could make you an
instrument of leavening your surroundings to worship God and give him alone all
glory.
Prayer: Lord,
I come before you with all the evil that is in me with a humble heart and contrite
spirit. For a humble contrite heart you will not spurn.
