IMAGINE A SOWER
Pause. Be in the presence
of Jesus at the lakeside with a large crowd gathered round.
Reading. “Imagine
a sower going out to sow.” (Mark 4:1-20)
Reflection. The
teaching story (parable) of the sower is a mirror in which we can see
ourselves. We pay attention for a moment and then the good thought slips away
and we lose it. We understand something for a moment and then something
distracts us and we forget the good inspiration. We lay down plans for
ourselves to do something really good but then other things, good things, often
family matters, force us to drop our plans and the opportunity is lost. And
them sometimes we get it right. We follow something through; we achieve
something and there it is : something to be enjoyed by others and giving us
much cause for gratitude to God.
Prayer. Lord, you
alert us though your parables. Let them touch us. Let them penetrate into our
minds and hearts that we may know you better and follow your way. Amen.
