Farming or gardening can be a good school of patience, trust and abandonment. After you have tilled the ground, sowed the seed and watered it, you just have to wait in patience. For awhile there is no way of knowing whether it will grow or not. Then you don't know how tall it will grow. You can work on the conditions of growth; you have no way of influencing the growth process itself.
With that in mind let us now return to today's Gospel.
