Parable of the sower
Fr. Julio César RAMOS González SDB (Mendoza, Argentina)Today, Jesus starts introducing us into the mysteries of the Kingdom, in that particular way that He likes to use by means of "parables". The seeds are the Word proclaimed and the sower is He. He is not trying to sow in the best possible soil to produce an excellent crop. He has come so that "they may have life, and have it to the full".
Thus, the seeds so generously sown produce the expected yield the “toponymic” possibilities allow. Depending on the depth of the faith, such will be the fruits the crop will bear. Though, these fruits, somehow, are guaranteed by the vital power of the Word-seed, our responsibility in the attentive listening to the Word is no less important. This is why "if you have ears, then hear!".
—I ask the Lord the prophet’s yearning: «When I found your words, I devoured them; they became my joy and the happiness of my heart.
