TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — My word will achieve the end for which it was sent (Isaiah 55:10-11). Psalm — The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruit-ful harvest (Psalm 65). Second Reading — We, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan within ourselves awaiting the redemption of our bodies (Romans 8:18-23). Gospel — Some seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit (Matthew 13:1-23 [1-9]).
TODAY’S READINGS
READINGS FOR THE WEEK
SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES
A sower went out to sow The Gospel today is the beginning of a new section in Matthew, called The Parabolic Discourse - a section of parables Jesus tells the crowd, which we will read over the next three weeks. A parable is a story with a hidden meaning: we can easily remember the story, and gradually the true meaning becomes clearer and clearer. Today is a famous example: the Parable of the Sower. In itself it is a story that would easily be understood by Jesus’s audience - people who lived in an agricultural economy. Jesus uses their understanding to make an important teaching about the message he has brought: it is like a seed that is thrown out and received in different ways - the ideal is when the seed finds good soil, and produces a crop that can be seen and harvested: so the ideal listener to the word is one who allows it to lodge in the heart, but also produces a visible result. What is the harvest we should yield, when we have heard the word?
THE WORD THIS WEEK
Sunday: Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Tuesday: St. Camillus de Lellis Thursday: St. Apollinaris Friday: St. Lawrence of Brindisi Saturday: St. Mary Magdalene
Parables Anyone? When Jesus answers the apostles’ question about
why he speaks in parables, it may seem as if he is using them to confuse people. We know he is trying to spread the good news of God’s kingdom. So he talks to the crowds in parables, easily understood stories that usually have a moral or that end with a question for the hearers. He uses these stories to teach the crowd.
Jesus threw out parables like a farmer sowing seeds. Some of them fell on the ears of those who would be disciples. But most fell on the ears of people not ready to understand. So how do we receive his word? Do we hear it without understanding, letting it go in one ear and out the other? Do we hear it joyfully, but then forget it when troubles or difficulties come along? Do we listen to the word but ignore it in the face of some later tempta-tion?
If we want the word to grow strong in us, we can take steps to help ourselves understand it. We can come to church early and spend a few minutes with the read-ings before Mass. After Mass we can talk about the read-ings or the homily with our family over breakfast. We can pick out one practical point to practice that week.
Keeping the word in difficult times is not easy. The cross teaches us to expect troubles, but we have to endure them to really learn that we can go through suffer-ing to a new life.
To be strong enough to resist temptations, we have to decide each day that we want to follow Jesus’ word. We can pray for that strength and ask God to help us remember that word when temptations come. And we can decide to stay away from the places, people, or situa-tions that so tempt us.
God’s word can be likened to a ball game. We can sit back and watch, not really involved or caring who wins. Or we can jump in and participate and make the game ours. Let us ask God how we can take the word and run with it. Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
