It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden. And it grew, and it became a great tree, and the birds of the air rested in its branches. (Lk 13:19)
ὁμοία ἐστὶν κόκκῳ σινάπεως, ὃν λαβὼν ἄνθρωπος ἔβαλεν εἰς κῆπον ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ηὔξησεν καὶ ἐγένετο εἰς δένδρον, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατεσκήνωσεν ἐν τοῖς κλάδοις αὐτοῦ.
Simile est grano sinapis, quod acceptum homo misit in hortum suum, et crevit, et factum est in arborem magnam: et volucres cæli requieverunt in ramis eius.
The etymology of the Polish word refers to a fence. A garden is a separate part of the area, intended either for planting vegetables, and fruit-bearing trees, or as a place of respite, with decorative and valuable plants. In this way, we can think about the garden of our hearts, where there is a special place for the Word of God. The Word expects attention and daily encounters. The tiny seed of God’s Kingdom grows as we remain in constant contact with Him. The garden ultimately becomes God’s Garden of Eden and ours.
