THE
MYSTERIES OF THE KINGDOM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “The mysteries of the kingdom of God
are revealed to you; for the rest there are only are only parables.” (Luke 8:4-15)
Reflection. The variety of response to the good
news of the kingdom is a mystery. The parable of the sower points to these: it
just touches the edge of consciousness of some and bounces off others completely.
Some welcome it but soon tire of the message and get distracted by life’s demands.
Why can people not see the attractiveness of Jesus’ message of compassion and
love for one another? Well, many don’t and as the pope prepares to visit
America many there think he is a communist because he says we are called to go
beyond charity to justice. As we look at the sower and the seed we also think
of our own varied response: sometimes we welcome the message, other times we
ignore it.
Prayer. Lord, help us to welcome your word
as good soil welcomes the seed. Amen..
