[Jesus said,] “But once it is sown, it springs up and
becomes the largest of plants and puts forth large
branches.” Mark 4:32
The kingdom of God has an inward power, an effervescence with which it
is equipped, that makes it a force of growth and multiplication. Jesus
compares the kingdom with a seed. You plant it in favorable soil and, you
know not how, it springs up into a little plant and then eventually into a
full-grown tree. Its life principle is not given by the soil—although that
helps it grow—but rather it has power of itself to expand.
The Christian life and the kingdom are very much like this. At baptism we
have received supernatural grace in our souls. And if given suitable
support, that faith will grow and become the transformative element of
our lives. It will drive us toward a life of faith, hope, and love. It will lead
us to forgive others, improve society, and transform everything for good.
The same can be said of the Church, Christ’s kingdom of love. Christ
planted the seed of faith in his apostles and that seed spread and thrived
all across Europe. Their faith multiplied and grew until all throughout the
world the fruits of their faith are on display as a veritable kingdom of
charity: hospitals, universities, soup kitchens, AIDS hospices, shelters for
the battered and homeless, retreat centers, chapels, churches, museums,
research and rehabilitation centers, religious orders, lay associations,
volunteer groups, and the list could and does continue on and on. There is
a force in faith and love that cannot be contained!

I try to be responsible in my Christian duty to visit the sick. While my visits have
good intentions, I often feel they aren’t well received. Please advise.
I commend you for your commitment in carrying out your Christian duty. Saint Rose of Lima said, “When we serve the
poor and the sick, we serve Jesus” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2449). Works of mercy, such as visiting the
infirm, “are charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities” (CCC
2447). When we perform these works, the primary focus is on the recipient, not on how these acts make me feel good
about myself or how I appear before God and others.
My advice for visiting the sick at home or in the hospital is to avoid showing up unannounced, whenever possible.
(I offer this advice after my unexpected visit to a patient in the ICU, who never appeared in public without her wig.)
Also, observe verbal and nonverbal signs on how long to stay. Some patients may appear bored or lonely and are open
to guests; others are in pain or they’ve been awakened throughout the night and desire rest more than greeting
visitors for a prolonged time. Ask yourself: Are the sick being polite in keeping me company? Am I the latest guest
asking them to repeat their diagnosis? Do they really feel like praying right now? While the sick appreciate our
concern, visiting them is most beneficial when we’re acutely sensitive to their needs.

A Word From Pope Francis Evangelization does not consist in proselytizing, for proselytizing is a
caricature of evangelization, but rather evangelizing entails attracting by our witness those who are
far off. It means humbly drawing near to those who feel distant from God in the Church, drawing
near to those who feel judged and condemned. —Homily at Mass for the Evangelization of Peoples, July 7,
2015
