On this 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jesus teaches us about the Kingdom of God through two parabolic images. And the Divine Vision Jesus reveals to us through these images is grand indeed. For, as Tony explains, the Kingdom of God is not a matter of belonging to this group or that, but encompasses the entire cosmos and every single creature therein.
