From today’s Scripture: “The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower; all who come to him will live for ever.” —Alleluia verse

The seed is such a beautiful example of how God wants to bring us to perfection. I am holding in my hand a zinnia seed. It seems to be empty of life, but it holds in itself a beautiful red zinnia. When the zinnia seed bursts forth there will be joy and happiness. It is like the Word of God that changes us into a new person filled with the beauty of Christ himself.

Let us pray: May we let Christ, the sower of God’s seeds of life, be in us today and bring us to a new life in the Spirit.
