Seeds Again

When Jesus spoke in parables, He used images that everyone could understand and

identify with. Last week in the Gospel we heard the parable of the seed and the sower. This

week’s Gospel continues the theme of the seed and applies it to the growth of God’s Kingdom.

The seeds are planted in the hearts of people and it is up to them to do something about it. The

Kingdom of God here on earth is our Church as well as all of us who have been put here by the

Lord.

In the Gospel today, Jesus points out that there are evil forces in the world that will try

to thwart God’s plans, but in the end, goodness and holiness will prevail. It would be good for

us to ask ourselves how much we are contributing to the growth of God’s Kingdom here on

earth. What have we done to bring the Gospel to other people? Have we done enough to

make the Gospel first a reality in our own lives, then going out to others and sharing that joy

and enthusiasm with our brothers and sisters?

The harvest that Jesus talks about refers to the end of the world. Many modern day

“prophets” would lead us to believe that they know the exact day or year when that will be.

Our faith tells us, however, that no one except God has that information. In the meantime,

instead of living our lives in fear and trepidation wondering when this will happen, let us

spend each and every day doing what we can to live fully the Gospel values Jesus speaks about.

Let us make our world a good place in which to live. We await the Second Coming of Christ,

but in the meantime we must live good and holy lives, treasuring each and every day as a gift

from God.

Father David

We Offer Our Prayers

Act of Spiritual Communion by Saint Alphonsus Ligouri:

My Jesus, I believe that You are present

in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You

as if You were already there

and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Good Seeds

Today Jesus continues to speak to his followers using parables. What a rich treasure we are given today in three parables about the kingdom of heaven! The kingdom is likened to a man sowing good seed in his field, a mustard seed, and yeast mixed with flour. As they did last week, today the disciples press Jesus for an interpretation of one of the parables—the parable of the man sowing good seed. Lest we think that these parables are simply amusing little anecdotes, Jesus’ interpretation should be seen for what it is—a warning. Wailing and grinding of teeth in a fiery furnace await those who are children of the evil one. This parable points to the struggle for today’s believer. Sometimes, through sin, we sow weeds and prevent the love of Christ from blossoming. Let today’s Gospel help put us back on track. Let us recommit ourselves to preparing for the last days, the harvest, by blossoming as the good seeds we were created in love to be.
