Introduction to the Word Ezekiel 17:22 24 I have lifted high the lowly tree. Psalm 92 Lord, it is good to give thanks to you. 2 Corinthians 5:6 10 Whether we are at home or away, we aspire to please the Lord. Mark 4:26 34 It is the smallest of all seeds, and becomes the largest of plants. As we approach the first day of summer, we hear readings today that are set in nature. Ezekiel has a vision of God cutting a tender shoot from the top of a cedar and planting it on a lofty mountain where it grows into a majestic tree. Mark relates two of Jesus parables involving sowing seeds, one being the tiny mustard seed, which grows into a shady, hearty plant. As we listen to today s readings, may the Lord s word take root in us.
