"Furthermore, it is clear from the outset that the relationship revealed by the parable must be something definitive, that both things, the growing grain and the lowering sky, are made for each other. God the Father gives his heaven to human beings. As Creator, he has not abandoned human beings, but has shown them the direction in which they must grow so that he can finally welcome them. If the mustard seed is faith, then it will be very clear what the role of faith in man must be: to grow, like the seed from the earth, from the substance of God's invisible grace that he welcomes into himself."
