12th Sunday - A (June 21, 2020)


Me Compared with Two Sparrows

“Two sparrows are sold for a small coin.” 
The name of the small coin is mentioned the original Greek text of Matthew’s Gospel.  Based on the common salary of day laborers at the time of Jesus, a person would need to work about 15 minutes to buy one such sparrow. 

“Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s knowledge.”

If a sparrow is still in the Father’s care, all the more we are. 

And this Father knows even “the hairs on your head.”

“So, do not be afraid.”
