🇬🇧 Glory be to Jesus Christ! 🌞
Since tomorrow is a holiday on a weekday, the readings are
transferred from tomorrow to today and are combined with today’s:
The first reading is the beginning
of the letter and thanks to God, also praise. The apostles always began
their appeals with praise, and this is a good beginning. Also, this,
among other things, distinguishes their preaching from the preaching of
the prophets.
1 Corinthians II, 9 – ‘ανεβη’ – ‘anebe’ – (to where the heart of
human has not) raised
.
1 Corinthians II, 14 – ‘μωρια’ – ‘moria’ – foolishness, folly,
absurdity
.
See a more detailed explanation of this word and its shades at the
link:

1 Corinthians III, 4 – ‘ειμι’ – ‘eimi’ – (I) am
. It is used for
emphasis.
Matthew XIII, 31
- ‘κοκκω’ – ‘kokko’ – grain
– from ‘κοκκος’ – ‘kokkos’ – grain,
kernel of seed
.
Two parables (two readings) with explanations. Quite eloquent.
I would like to add that the chapter is devoted to parables, the
general approach is described in the link:

Grain is also mentioned when the Lord Jesus Christ teaches faith.
About that place is well written at the link:

It is also possible to generalize that in the place of faith there can be hope, and love, and other virtues. If faith gives strength, then love – prosperity, happiness, hope – development, kindness – building of the relationships, etc.
Glory be to Thee, our God, glory be to Thee!
