Is Our Heart Cultivated Well?

Today’s Gospel Reading is Matthew 13:1-9. It is the very familiar parable of the sower and the seed.

As the seed grows, it grows on rocky soil, among the thorns, and good soil. On the rocky soil it grows but dies quickly because it has no root. Among the thorns the soil is good, but the weeds choke it. Finally in the good soil it grows and bears a fruitful harvest.

Those who preach the Gospel must bring the Good News to everyone, those with all kinds of soil. You can also expect to see a harvest in certain kinds of places. In places of good soil, good fruit, but in places with rocky soil or among the thorns, we must first cultivate the soil, to try and make it good soil. To help those pressured by the world to get to a place to receive the word more deeply.

Is the soil of our hearts well cultivated?

Praised Be Jesus Christ!
