PARABLE OF SOWER

"Some seeds fell in good soil." Luke 8:4-15

The finger of God
scratched the soil and planted a seed,
and Francis of Assisi took off his silk clothes
and put on beggars rags to preach to the poor.

The finger of God
scratched the soil and planted a seed,
and Albert Schweitzer left his concert piano in Europe
to become a missionary doctor in Africa.

The finger of God
scratched the soil and planted a seed
and Mother Teresa left a convent in Albania
to minister to outcasts in India.

God is still planting seeds today.
Whether the seed bears fruit or not
depends on the heart into which it falls.

----------------------

How open are our hearts to God's word?

Lord,
help us receive Your Word
withy the simplicity of a St. Francis of Assisi,
the generosity of an Albert Schweitzer,
and the love of a Mother Teresa.
