WHY THE WORD OF GOD DOES NOT TAKE ROOT AND BEAR FRUIT IN OUR LIVES: 15th Sunday O.T. Yr. A

Send us Fan MailFriends in Christ, the readings this 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A invite us to think about how God’s word works in our lives.  Each reading uses simple images from the world around us. Rain, seeds, soil, and harvest all show how God’s word brings life and hope. These readings remind us that God always works with purpose.In the 1st reading from the Prophet Isaiah, we hear how God’s word is like rain that makes the earth fruitful. St Paul in the 2nd reading tells us in Romans  that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. In the Gospel, Jesus uses the parable of the sower to teach us that our hearts must be ready to receive God’s word.These passages come together to remind us that God’s plan is certain. With open hearts, we can grow strong in faith and bear much fruit. His word nourishes us, even when life feels dry or hard. Support the show
