Mustard Seed Faith & the Rosary: Mary’s Example Sparks Spiritual Growth – Oct 05 – Homily – Fr Andre

 

Fr. Andre M. Feain gives the homily from Our Lady's Chapel, New Bedford, MA, for the Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time (Oct 05, 2025), explaining the Gospel parable, expounding on Mary’s faithful obedience and the infant Jesus as the “mustard seed” that, when nurtured by grace and virtues, grows into a tree of love that moves mountains. This image urges us to cultivate our own faith through the Rosary—described as a “Bible in miniature”—and to become living witnesses who spread this joy to others.

Father encourages us to plant the seed of devotion in Mary’s example, let it blossom into a life of virtue, and share the transformative power of the Gospel with all we encounter.

Ave Maria!
