The Seed On Rich Soil

Today, Jesus gives us an explanation of the Sower and the Seed. In the end, it is the seed sown on rich soil that thrives.  Other seed fell on rocky ground, or  among thorns and did not yield fruit. (Mt 13: 18-23). As we gain understanding of what has been offered to us and how we've responded,  we realize that we have not taken seriously God's call to be "good ground" for his choice seed.  "But the seed sown on rich soils is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirty fold."  Hearing and understanding of the Word, is key.  We need to expose ourselves daily to it, sit with it, contemplate it and act on it. Jesus is depending on us to carry on his mission, using his fuel for our engines. May we come to love the Word of God, the time we spend with it, and the actions that flow from it.
