Text Box: More has been Given In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus tells the parable of the sower who sowed seeds that fell on different kinds of soil – some rocky, some with weeds, some shallow, and some fertile and deep. Ultimately, Jesus explains to his disciples that it is his words, the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, that he is trying to sow into the world; some of it falling on rocky ground, some upon open hearts seeking the Father’s will. As the people of God, we have been given more, and more is asked of us. Christ’s commandment to love, to love even those who hurt us, makes no sense to the secular world we live in. Still, our very identity as Catholic Christians is based on our love, acceptance and forgiveness of everyone. It is through a personal decision each day that we make ourselves good soil in which Our Lord’s words may grow into a way of life. Deacon Lynn
