Jesus details the meaning of his parable about the sower and the seed very clearly. The questions for us revolve around how we are to be "rich soil" for the seed and how we are to enable it to bear fruit.
Jesus mentions a "generous and good heart" along with perseverance. (cf. Lk 8:15). These are the keys to our answer: Generosity, willingness to sacrifice our time, our plans, our schedules, our wants and even our needs, for the sake of others. Willingness to share our knowledge, our experience, the fruits of our prayers and meditations with others, a good book, a website, an article...share, share, share...pass on the good news that has come to us...share that faith of ours that brings us daily to this slice of bread....give it to others! Yes, a good and generous heart does these things...and does them with consistency and perseverance....not just once or twice. How about trying some "tilling" of the rich soil we've presumably been given with all who cross our paths today? Let's not let our gifts be choked by weeds, or die in shallow, rocky soil.
