Sunday Reflection (July 16, 2023)

Despite our not being receptive to God’s Word revealed in Jesus Christ, God still casts God’s truth and love everywhere. Regrettably, we often miss it because we do not spiritually cultivate our hearts and minds (Matthew 13:18-23). Through the Holy Spirit we hear, understand, and respond to the truth and love of God.

God has chosen the Church, and planted God’s Word revealed in Jesus Christ within us and among us. When God’s truth and love become a greater part of our lives, we plant the seeds of God’s truth and love.  It may fall on hard or fertile soil. Who knows when a person will be receptive and respond and follow the way of Christ because we have made the way of Christ our way of life?
