Gregory the Great, on Matt 13:31
Gregory the Great · c. A.D. 540–604
Matt 13:31 · Douay-Rheims
“Another parable he proposed unto them, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field.”
On this verse:
“(Mor. xix. 1.) Christ Himself is the grain of mustard seed, who, planted in the garden of the sepulchre, grew up a great tree; He was a grain of seed when He died, and a tree when He rose again; a grain of seed in the humiliation of the flesh, a tree in the power of His majesty.”
