One another occasion, Jesus began to teach by the sea. A very large crowd gathered around him so that he got into a boat on the sea and sat down. and the whole crowed was beside the sea on land. And he taught them at length in parables, and in the course of his instruction he said to them, "Hear this! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Other seed fell on rocky ground where it had little soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. And when the sun rose, it was scorched and withered for the lack of roots. Some seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it and it produced no grain. And seed fell on rich soil and produced fruit. It came up and grew and yielded thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold." He added, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
Lord Jesus, help us to understand your words, they are food for the life of the world. Grant us the grace to meditate and contemplate with deep sincerity and love the mystery that you wish to unfold to us. Amen.
