✨ To meditate on today
According to the Gospel of Thomas, an ancient collection of sayings attributed to Jesus, God’s reign is like the gesture of a woman who hides a little leaven in the dough: almost nothing, and yet all the dough rises and becomes bread for many; the last sentence simply invites us to truly listen. Today, slip a little “leaven” of kindness into your day (a kind word, a discreet service) and let it work without trying to see it.
