The Lord Jesus has given the explanation of the parable of the sower, he now insists on the importance of listening to the word, "pay attention to how you listen," he said. This warning is clearly linked with the fate of the grain in the different kinds of land where it falls, as we meditated on Saturday. But Jesus today shows that growth depends directly on how it will take shape in our lives. The teachings of Jesus reveal the secrets of the kingdom, but they are not meant to be hidden or to be known only to a privileged few, we would. No, those secrets must be revealed to any man. But the first propagation mode of the teaching of Jesus is its implementation: "See how they love," says the Gospel elsewhere! Light received, tearing our own inner darkness and puts us in the dynamism of the resurrection is made to be placed on the lamppost what an exemplary life. Thus, it will join everyone who seeks the night and that it is intended. Jesus took the time to develop this new image to describe our relationship to his word, we also teach about the nature of this that is light to men. Because it is made to be put on a stand, it can not be otherwise treated without damage. That is to say that attempting to put "under cover" or "under the bed" the choke and lose to itself. We therefore understand the insistence of Jesus: "pay attention to how you listen." Do not listen to know but to know, do not accept the word of Jesus to be informed but to live. Speech is disclosed in the lives of those who received. To grow and the word is also a virtuous circle: the more one gets the more one puts it into practice, the more one is able to receive and put into practice. On the contrary, if it is a dead letter, even the little that we think we know is lost, because the word of Jesus does not bring a science, but the knowledge of the person who provides, it is not a discourse on God but the face of the Father is revealed. If the practice is part of listening that Jesus expects of us, it is also part of the knowledge that the word brings. Indeed, the teachings of Jesus are an inexhaustible source. They fill us, regardless of our spiritual maturity. But putting them into practice, a new maturity is acquired, a new light enlightens us, giving to understand differently and more deeply the word received. So live the teachings of Jesus gives to listen. "It has, more will be given." As for one who is a speech, for whom the word is abstract and has no connection with life, it withers and dries. The word is not a ferment of life for him. Although he received the word, "he seems to have lost it." Lord Jesus, we have a deep desire to shine in the night as benchmarks to conduct our fellow men to meet you. Renews our way to listen to your words, live your sacraments for us to bear fruit aimed at making the whole Church.
