Readings: Ex 33:7-11; 34:5b-9, 28, Ps 103:6-7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, Mt 13:36-43
In the Gospel from todays readings, we hear the disciples asking Jesus to explain the parable of the sower. Think about the humility of the disciples asking him to explain what he meant with the parable. This I think shows several things that we can look at in our own lives.
- Are we humble enough to ask Christ to clarify things for us?
- Are we open to hear the response even if it is not what we want?
- Are we ready to act on what we hear the Lord telling us or clarifying for us?
I think we can take a lesson from the disciples and not rely just on ourselves for knowledge, information, or anything else. Instead, we should be relying on Christ and listening to what he wants us to do and acting on what he wants us to do.
St. Ignatius of Loyola is a perfect example of listening and following the will of God in his life. Have a great day!
