You Did It for Me Violence affects several regions of South Sudan and has forced many people to flee their homes. Despite ongoing violence, the generous support of the American people through U.S. foreign aid has recently allowed many people to return to their homes. Foreign aid makes up only 1% of our nation's budget but it does a world of good. Please join your bishops and Catholic Relief Services as we urge Congress to protect lives through U.S. foreign aid!

Welcome to St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church · Jacksonville
JULY 16, 2017
15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"But some seed fell on rich soil, and produced fruit, a hundred or
sixty or thirtyfold." In the parable of the sower that Jesus tells in
today's Gospel, the ideal is to be "the seed sown on rich soil" that
yields an abundant harvest. As Jesus explains, this means we
should strive to be "the one who hears the word and understands
it."
So how do we place ourselves in this category? How do we assure
that we will hear God's voice (i.e., the word) and actually
understand what he's saying to us? The answer comes in the
parable itself. Jesus explains what we need to avoid in order to
make sure our seed bears fruit.
First, we must beware of "the evil one" who comes and steals
away the seed of God's word. Faithfully praying the Lord's Prayer,
with its request to "deliver us from evil," is a good starting point
here. Placing ourselves under God's protection every day is like
taking up a shield against the forces that would seek to derail us.
Secondly, we must be committed enough to God's word that
"tribulation or persecution" do not uproot us or make our faith
wither and die. Here, too, sincerely praying the petition in the
Lord's Prayer-"Thy will be done"-can prepare us to accept
whatever comes our way without waffling or wavering.
Finally, we must be careful that "worldly anxiety and the lure of
riches" do not "choke" us. Again, we turn to the Lord's Prayer and
find an antidote built in: "Give us this day our daily bread." We
pray not for a new car or a winning lottery ticket, but for our basic
needs.
So let us embrace the prayer Jesus gave us, indeed the words he
himself gave us to say, as we seek to truly hear and understand
God's word.
