Good Soil, Good Sowers

Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time ( 12th July 2020 )

[ Isaiah 55:10-11 , Psalm 64:10-14 , Romans 8:18-23 , Matthew 13:1-23 ]

The Gospel reads like Jesus’ autobiography reflecting the experience of his preaching. He identifies himself with the sower who scatters the good seed of the Word of God and notes the different effects it obtains, in accordance with the way in which people hear its proclamation. We are called to have good soil in our life so that we can welcome the seed and allow God’s Word to bear fruit. We are constantly invited by Jesus to be the sower who goes out repeatedly to sow God’s Word .We must never get tired of in spite of the birds, weeds and sunlight as obstacles. As Christians, we must not remain fruitless at the end of our lives. We are here to be fruitful by making the Word of God our foundation, we must let it permeate and influence the way we live. Let us not settle for mediocrity but strive always to be good soil and good sowers of the Word of God in the lives of others.
