sign of contradiction and source of help

In today's readings, there are many people who describe Jesus'. One of them, 'Simeon, who speaks of Jesus' to his parents:

"He is here for the fall and rising of many in Israel, a sign of contradiction
may be revealed the thoughts of many hearts." (Lk 22, 30 ..)

Jesus 'is not easy to' understand ': and' sign of contradiction, came at the same time in the death and resurrection, as seen from all these words and actions. But the underlying reason for his coming, and we 'described by Paul in the previous reading:

"In fact, just to be been tested and have suffered personally,
is capable of helping those who are tempted. "(Heb 2, 18)

E 'come to be able to come personally to help those who suffer and are in difficulties'. To know God, the human being in his underwear. To allow us to recognize in him, and talk as equals.

Parables about the Kingdom of God (Mk 4: 26-34)

"The kingdom of God is like a man who
scatter seed upon the earth sleeps and rises night and day,
the seed sprouts and grows, he does not know.

It is like a mustard seed which, when sown
earth, is the smallest of all seeds on earth, but just
sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts
large branches, so that the birds can shelter in its shadow

Today these parables gives me hope. This 'we see it' s not. We do not know, but the Kingdom of God grows. The seed 'was thrown. In the world .. in us .. And
become' great, as to be visible , and a source of refuge for others.

Loving Words of hope with the facts / knowing Jesus 'personally

In these weeks after Christmas, the liturgy offers us texts from John, both in first reading is in the Gospel. I love John, his spirituality 'deep. Between the readings of today there are two songs that I particularly striking.

"By this we know love, that He gave His life for us;
and we ought to lay down his life for his brothers.
But if one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need
closes his heart, as in him the love of God? " (1 Jn 3 ~ 15)
course, this strikes me 'cause I have a lot more' wealth of many, and often when I see someone ask 's begging on the street really close to my heart. How to stay in me the love of God? I try to do my best, giving money and time to help the poor or those who are not 'heard, but there is no' never 'enough'.
In any case, the rich are different not only economic but also spiritual, or 'social' to be loved, have friends, and 'a luxury that not many people have. Who feels, might really try to listen to those who have not heard, make a contact to those who have none.

The other piece that struck me and 'Jesus' meeting 'with Natanele (Jn 1, 43-51), who is surprised that Jesus' saw him under a fig tree. It strikes me that Jesus' immediately establishing a personal relationship with him, making him understand his neighborhood. As discussed in the track yesterday, the following of Jesus' is based on practice, not words.
