There are certain things that we do every day whether it is out of necessity or out of routine or ritual.
So we sleep, we eat, we bathe, we work and there are other things that are quite specific in the individual sense.
We do all these day in day out but have we ever reflected on them and asked ourselves if they have meaning and if they are doing us any good.
So we sleep but are are we really rested? We eat but are we getting healthier? We work but are we getting better at our work and happier with our work?
Even in the spiritual sense, we pray and mediate on the Word of God but are we getting holier and becoming more the person of love that God has created us to be?
The gospel parable reminds us that God continually sows His seeds of love on us and into our hearts.
Sometimes those seeds of love fall on the edge of the path and on rocky ground. Sometimes those seeds of love fell among thorns.
We may feel rather stagnated and not really moving and growing in our spiritual life and we feel discouraged and disheartened.
But God continues to sow His seeds of love on us and some of those seeds will enter into our hearts and bear a harvest of love.
We just have to be faithful and keep praying every day and trust that the Lord God will make His seeds of love bear fruit in us.
