So, we hear of Jesus performing a great miracle. He makes a blind man see. But what really happened? Did He not do it right the first time?

I was ordained a priest 30 years ago this month in a village high in the Andes Mountains, in the south of Peru, on the shores of Lake Titicaca. The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also known as the Purification, is a huge celebration in Peru.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like the mustard seed, sown into the ground, becoming a great plant putting forth branches to shelter all. A beautiful image, yet we need to understand it more completely. If you imagine this plant to be like a tall tree with expansive branches, maybe like a great cedar or a redwood - that is not what Christ intends. He speaks of the mustard tree that stays lower to the ground, with a dense interweaving of its branches - beautiful in its own right, but not according to our preconceptions.
