Ord. Wk 16th. Wednesday, 23 July 2014 Dear friend in the Lord, Faith - Receptivity: In today’s Gospel, Jesus’ parable of the “Sower” reminds us to challenge ourselves to be more receptive to God’s Word and the Church’s commandments on Faith and Morals. Do we find ourselves opposing Mother Church because we are prejudiced by our personal needs and desires? Msgr Philip Heng, S.J. Mt 13:1-9 Reflection Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeside, but such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat there. The people all stood on the shore, and he told them many things in parables. He said, ‘Listen, a sower went out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on patches of rock where they found little soil and sprang up at once, because there was no depth of earth; but as soon as the sun came up they were scorched and, not having any roots, they withered away. Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Anyone who has ears should listen!’ (via DGems App - jesuit.org.sg)
