When a great crowd gathered and people from town after town came to
him, he said in a parable: A sower went out to sow his see; and as he sowed,
some fell on the path and was trampled on the birds of the ate it up. Some fell
on the rock; and as it grew up it withered for lack of moisture. Some fell
among thorns, and the thorns grew with it a chalked it. Some fell into good sill,
and when grew, it produced a hundredfold. As he said this, he called, Let
anyone with ears to hear listen!
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. The news on the
path is those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from
their hearts so that they may not believe and be saved. The ones on the rock
are those who when they hear the word, receive with joy. But these have no
root; they believe only for a while and in time of testing fall away. As for
what fell among the are the one ho hear but eye go on their way, they are choked
by the cares, riches, and pleasures of life and their fruit does not mature.
But as for that in the good solid, these are the eons how when they hear the
word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart and bear fruit with patient endurance.
Father Darren
Dias said that parables are stories of everyday life that draw involvement holy
images to illustrate deeper truth. The gospel is about a man who sowed seeds
and scattered these seeds on earth – the rock, thorns, and good soil. The seeds
refer to the words of God. The seeds that were thrown on rocks refer to the words
of God unable to stand the test of time. The seeds thrown on good soil yielded
much and it produced hundredfold. The word is success, trustworthy. We should
need to listen to become good soil. We should persevere in spite of rocks and
thorns and grow in hundred fold in our daily living.
