Again he began to teach by the lakeside, but such a huge crowd
gathered round him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat
there. The people were all along the shore, at the water's edge.
He taught them many things in parables, and in the course of his
teaching he said to them, 'Listen!, Imagine a sower going our to
sow. Now it happened that, as he sowed, some of the seed fell on
the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Some seed fell on rocky ground where it found little soil and sprang up straightaway, because there was no depth of earth; and when the sun
came up it was scorched, not having any roots, it withered away.
Some seed fell into thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it,
and it produced no crop. And some seeds fell into right soil and,
growing tall and strong, produced crop; and yielded thirty, sixty,
even a hundredfold.' And he said, 'Listen, anyone who has ears to hear!' Mass Readings
Heavenly Father, you sent your Son Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh to dwell among us. He came and His teaching is with us, your Word among Us. Give me a heart to listen to you, and obey your Word. The Year is Gone Beyond Recall
