What is called the parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1-9) is really about the seed and the soil. The main message of Jesus is that God's rule, God's reign has come. Very likely most of us have received this message of Jesus, so this parable pushes us to ask ourselves how generous is our response to God's power in our lives. 100 fold would be an extraordinary, but not impossible, harvest. There may be a few of us who respond wholeheartedly to the power of God's love. Most of us, however, will find ourselves a little or a lot less than that. We must not underestimate ourselves or God's grace. Honestly, how much of our heart are we giving over to the power of God's love? 60? 30? God's love can improve the soil of our hearts. All we have to do is let God do it.
I am starting to have problems with my breathing again, like I had two years ago. Please pray for me. It doesn't look like I will be celebrating Mass this summer in church or outside.
