Gospel text
Lk 8:4-15
Lk 8:4-15
“A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some seed fell on good soil...
Gospel's Commentary
Today we hear a very important parable: the Parable of the Sower. It shows us the Christian’s task in becoming holy: to be good soil, prepared to receive the divine seed. Holiness is given by God; we do not manufacture it ourselves.
—But God counts on our freedom. So let us educate our freedom! Some people go through life “choked” by things. What is in my heart? Stones? Thorns? Well-tilled soil?
