Exodus 16: 1-5, 9-15, Ps. 78, Matthew 13: 1-9

Tilling the soil

As disciples our job is to till the soil of life to make it rich and full of goodness. When the seed falls on our patch it will then quickly take root and flourish. This tilling is mostly tedious and tiresome with little feeling of success or reward. It has become somewhat unfashionable. I can start tilling today making use of the sacraments so graciously given to me by mother Church. Am I prepared to take on this tilling?
