From Fr. Tony Kadavil:
SYNOPSIS OF O.T.XI SUNDAY HOMILY ON MK 4: 26-34 (JUNE 17)
Introduction: Today’s readings are about the birth and growth of the reign or rule of God (Kingdom of God), in human lives and about the gigantic growth of the Church from very humble beginnings. Both
growths
are
slow and mysterious, guided by the power of the Holy Spirit.
SYNOPSIS OF O.T.XI SUNDAY HOMILY ON MK 4: 26-34 (JUNE 17)
Fathers' Day - June 17
2 Corinthians 5:1-10 - "A Word for Christian
Fathers"
You are familiar with the
great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy's marriage was a saga of bitterness.
His wife carped and complained and clung to her grudges until he could not bear
the sight of her. When they had been married almost a half a century, sometimes
she would implore him to read to her the exquisite, poignant love passages that
he had written about her in his diary forty-eight years previously, when they
were both madly in love with each other. As he read of the happy days that were
now gone forever, they both wept bitterly.

Mark 4:26-34 - "The
Kingdom and the Seed"
Mark 4:26-34 - "Celebrate the Small Stuff"
Mark 4:26-34 - "Celebrate the Small Stuff"
Most of us have planted a
garden or lived on or near a farm. In my case, I grew up in Chicago where they
have to put cows in zoos because so many city people are shielded from
agricultural life and would never otherwise get to see one. But for eleven years
I served as the pastor of a church in the agriculturally-oriented community of
Davenport, Iowa. Davenport is located in Scott County which is Mississippi River
land. It is reported to be some of the richest soil in the world. I learned a
lot about farming while living there. I learned about soil and seeds. I learned
about the need for cooperation and balance between the various parts of nature -
the sun, the soil, and the rain. Having returned recently from a trip to Iowa, I
was very mindful of the soil

Love in action 1 Corinthians 13
Love in action 1 Corinthians 13
Introduction
“You say you love me, at least 1000 times a day. But I can’t see that love in your actions.” My wife told me in a frustrated voice, after I denied to help her with the Sunday worship service one day. I paused for a moment. Isn’t she right? This was the situation in the Church of Corinth and that’s why Paul wrote to the church of Corinth at a time they had given priority to Spiritual gifts while ignoring to love each other.
Love without actions is dead! And this passage tells us what is real love.
The Boy and the Lightning.
One rainy day, a mother went to
pick up her son from school thinking he'll fear the
lightning.
On the way
she found
him smiling at the sky for every
strike of lightning..She asked him why.
"God's taking my picture, I have to look good."
Life's simple..Its all
about the way with which we approach
it

Paralytic Man
Lessons from the Paralytic Mark 2:3-12
Text: Mark 2:3-12
Introduction
(Though I titled this sermon as ‘Lessons from the paralytic’ to make this post search engine friendlier, I recommend you to modify the title to suite your preaching.)
Paralytics were very common in biblical times. Medical support was not available for such disabled people and their only hope was divine intervention. This passage tells about a paralytic and the story deals with three principals for having an encounter with God.
