The Parable of the Sower

In this homily on the Parable of the Sower, Fr. Miguel reflects on the different kinds of ground that receive the seed of God’s Word — and what makes a heart good soil.Good soil is a repentant heart, open to God’s will and willing to be changed by His grace. But even good soil needs the seed. The Word of God carries real power: the power of truth to enlighten the mind and the power of grace to transform a sinner into a saint.Fr. Miguel shares a personal experience of reading John 13 years ago and how the Lord’s words to Peter spoke directly to his own life. He encourages us to accompany our prayers with frequent reading of Scripture so that a true dialogue takes place: we speak to God when we pray, and we listen to Him when we read His Word.
