THE SEED SOWN ON
RICH SOIL
This Sunday's readings are
about sowing seeds. The
important thing to
remember about seed
sowing is that the effort is
worthless if the seeds are
not changed by being cast
to the ground. Each seed
must give up its former self,
dying in the dirt while new
life stirs within it. Only
then can it send out a
tender, first root, which will
multiply and grow stronger
and deeper to support
upward growth. Even so, it
has to be properly
nourished to survive.
If all this takes place, the
end result is a plant that
looks nothing like the seed,
which as it grows develops
the ever-more important
mission of benefitting the
wider world of Nature
beyond itself.
As we listen to Jesus
explain the parable, we say
yes, we want to be seeds
that become fruitful lives.
But desiring it does not
automatically transform us.
What is it that makes the
soil of our lives rich and
growth-producing?
The reading from Isaiah

Our Mission:
The Santo Niño Catholic Church is a faith community where all are welcome to celebrate Catholic beliefs embellished by the best Philippine traditions. It is a dynamic parish responding to the spiritual needs of the community to fulfill its evangelical mission and to realize Christ’s call of making disciples of all nations. (Parish Pastoral Council, 21 April 2001)
Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10, RSV
Lord our God, grant that we may find the power of your
Spirit so that we may live on a higher level, no longer
controlled by our lower natures but strengthened to
take up the battle of life. May we be children of the Spirit
and may we walk in the Spirit. Guard us against carelessness
and keep us joyful and courageous. Help us and
counsel us on all our ways so that we may honor you and testify that you are our God,
our true help. Amen.
O n that day, Jesus went out of the house and sat down by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd
stood along the shore. And he spoke to them at length in parables, saying: "A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky ground, where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep, and when the sun rose it was scorched, and it withered for lack of roots. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it. But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold. Whoever has ears ought to hear." The disciples approached him and said, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" He said to them in reply, "Because knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been granted to you, but to them it has not been granted. To anyone who has, more will be given and he will grow rich; from anyone who has not, even what he has will be taken away. This is why I speak to them in parables, because they look but do not see and hear but do not listen or understand. Isaiah's prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says: You shall indeed hear but not understand, you shall indeed look but never see. Gross is the heart of this people, they will hardly hear with their ears, they have closed their eyes, lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their hearts and be converted, and I heal them. "But blessed are your eyes, because they see, and your ears, because they hear. Amen, I say to you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but

Today’s Reflection
WHAT KIND OF HEART DO YOU HAVE?
http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/bible/matthew/13:1
tells us that it is God
himself who is the rich soil
-- God and his Word. Saint
Paul reminds us in the
second reading that
suffering is part of creation
(seeds must fall in the dirt
and die in order to produce
a fruitful life). Redemption
grows from suffering and
death.
We will never feel truly
fulfilled until we've
surrendered to the soil and
have allowed God to
nourish our growth.
Questions for Personal
Reflection:
What tender, new roots do
you have that are sprouting
from times of suffering and
loss? What blessings are
springing up from them?
What ministry (what benefit
to others) could be a fruitful
gift of these blessings?
Questions for Community
Faith Sharing:
Share what it means to give
up your former self to allow
new life to stir and grow.
What is the will of God
(what does the Word say)
regarding the end result?
Give examples from your
life or from the lives of
others.

did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. "Hear then the parable of the sower. The seed sown on the path is the one who hears the word of the kingdom without understanding it, and the evil one comes and steals away what was sown in his heart. The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and receives it at once with joy. But he has no root and lasts only for a time. When some tribulation or persecution comes because of the word, he immediately falls away. The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but then worldly anxiety and the lure of riches choke the word and it bears no fruit. But the seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or
thirtyfold." †
