The seed sown on rich soil is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.
Fr. Chris: 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Fr. Chris reflected on the Parable of the Sower, encouraging us to cultivate hearts that are open to God's Word by making time for prayer, Scripture, and ongoing growth in faith rather than remaining spiritually complacent. Using a humorous seminary story, he reminded us that a deeper relationship with Christ requires intentionally moving beyond the surface so God's grace can take root and bear lasting fruit.
