Pastor’s Notes
"Hear then the parable of the sower." With his analo-
gy of the sower and the seed, Jesus gives us four im-
ages to help us gauge the depth of our spiritual ma-
turity. What kind of "soil" does our faith exist in? Are
we fruitful Christians? Does our seed yield as much
as it could?
The first image is of the seed that fell on the
path. This describes those who hear about Christiani-
ty "without understanding it." Nothing can grow, noth-
ing can blossom at this level. We should ask our-
selves if we have taken the time to be sure we under-
stand the faith we practice. Are we stuck at a superfi-
cial level, allowing stereotypes, popular opinion, or
media distortions to "steal away" the richness of the
Catholic faith?
Perhaps we have been properly educated in
the teachings of the faith, but our commitment has
been fickle. Are we the seed on the rocky ground,
that "has no root and lasts only for a time"? Have we
experienced difficulties in the practice of our faith
that have led us to become indifferent? Have we
found it just too troublesome to bring our faith into
our everyday lives?
Or have we heard the word, but allowed it to
be choked by "worldly anxiety and the lure of riches"?
Do we appreciate Christianity but fail to make the
sacrifices that it requires? Are we more interested in
a comfortable life than anything else?
Many of us have sampled these stages at
different times. But ultimately, our goal as Christians
is to be "the seed sown on rich soil." We are called to
be open to hearing the word, to seek to understand it,
and to allow it to take firm root in our hearts. When
we do this, the seed of our own faith can produce a
rich harvest for the world.
Father Euk is away on vacation until July
22nd.
