In 1972, Donovan, the British song writer composed several songs for the Zeffirelli film, BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON, which were incorporated into the sound track...One spoke of "small beginnings, greater ends," and provided the sage advice of taking time to let things grow slowly. When Jesus speaks of the mustard seed or the leaven in the loaf, he conveys the same idea: small things eventually, over time, yield larger, in this case, trees where birds take refuge in branches, or loaves of bread from a bit of dough....Jesus reminds us that no matter how small we think our contribution might be, as in yesterday's five loaves or two fishes, with his power, and over time, it will surprise us how much our little effort or contribution can turn out to be. No excuses for not being able to add large amounts of time, talent or money to a project or even to our daily activities: small amounts will do, and greater ends will result.
