St Ignatius of Antioch, B.M.

Philippians 3:17-4:1, Psalm 34, John 12:24-26

“Unless a wheat grain falls on the ground and dies, it remains only a grain, but if it dies, it yields a rich harvest.”

Letting go. It doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes I try to do things by myself. When that doesn’t work I remember to ask God for help. ‘Let go and let God’ is a powerful saying. The grain of wheat can teach us much about letting go and letting God produce the harvest.
