From today’s Scripture: “A sower went out to sow…some seed fell on rich soil, some on rocky ground…some fell among thorns…”—Mt 13:3-9

Today’s parable has much to say to us if we take time to reflect upon it. It asks us questions: Where has the Word of God fallen within us: rich soil or rocky ground or among thorns? Is our faith one of substance and conviction, or is our faith more form and ritual? To help us determine our answer we might consider the words of St. John Paul II: “If you have met Christ, proclaim Christ.” With conviction, how much do we proclaim Christ by what we say and do?

Let us pray: Gracious Sower, you have sowed your word within us. May we be the rich soil that enables your word to yield a hundred fold for all people we meet.

Today’s author is Father Tom Charters, missionary pastor of St. Michael the Archangel in Unicoi County, Tennessee.
