Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Here in the middle of summer, many people grow vegetable and flower gardens, or appreciate the work of others by buying produce from roadside stands and farmer’s markets. All our readings today embrace one of God’s smallest but most common miracles as a metaphor: the seed and its cycle, and all that it stands for. Isaiah reminds us that just as God waters the earth and cares for it so that seeds may grow, so the Word of God will come and not return to God until it has borne fruit. Psalm 65 describes the cycle of growth and personifies fields that “shout for joy.” Romans has “creation groaning in labor pains” as it waits for its seed to come to fruition, redemption of the body. Similarly, Jesus teaches the crowds by using the parable of the sower and the seed. GROWTH REQUIRES PATIENCE Every child in school has experienced the excitement of growing a simple bean seed planted in a paper cup or watched a time lapse video of the growth process. We watch this miracle sprout in a matter of days, and mar-vel at the whole process. A seed must be planted and die to itself in order to create a new life. Then it must be fertilized and watered and cared for. But most im-portantly, one must be patient and wait. Seeds take a certain amount of time to develop and may require be-ing dormant for a while. Similarly, a human baby takes nine months to grow from the time the seed is fertilized. But no matter what we do, and how well we do it, not all seeds will yield fruit. Sometimes the conditions are just not right to allow it. Not all pregnancies go full term. Farmers know the pain of a drought year, or storms that ruin a crop before it can be harvested. Diseases and blight and other things can take hold. SOME WILL BE LOST Growing up in the Western states, beautiful fields of wheat and beans were a common sight for me, but I did not fully understand this parable until going to the Holy Land and seeing the rocky ground that Jesus spoke of. This was an “aha” moment, as I witnessed what a miracle it was when something had the strength and tenacity to grow among the crags despite the arid conditions. What a sign of faith and trust and hope even to plant crops there, knowing that some would be lost! It would seem easier to write them all off, or even less work not to plant them at all. Jesus could do that to us, but he has not. He has faith and trust that a number of the seeds planted in us will bear great fruit. They will not wither and fade away, but will produce fruit, a hundred-, or sixty- or thirty-fold. And his faith in us gives us hope. Today’s Readings: Is 55:10–11; Ps 65:10, 11, 12–13, 14; Rom 8:18–23; Mt 13:1–23 [1–9]

GOD’S WORDS Each day we are bombarded with thousands of words. From the mo-ment our clock radios click on in the morning, until the last moment of the day when the television is turned off or someone bids us “good-night,” our life is filled with words. Some words that we hear bring news that leaves us feeling low. Some words lift our spirits. Many of the words we hear are trying to get us to buy something. Some words are hurtful. Today the Church focuses our atten-

Our Faith tion on hearing the word of God. Are God’s words just more of the same—part of the endless stream of words that flow into our ears each day? The challenge today is to allow God’s word to inspire us in new ways so that our outlook and attitudes align themselves more closely with the heart and mind of Christ Jesus. Copyright © J. S.

From the Pastor... July 12, 2020

Friends, As children, we were taught to share: "It's nice to share." Scripture tells us to share with the hungry. In school, we were encouraged to share what little you had with those who had less. This week we'll focus on one of the S's of STEPS, Sharing. But this sharing consists of sharing the good news of the Gospel. The words of ever-lasting life. These words come to us from Jesus himself. He is our hope. His truth can set us free from the shackles of sin. If only we allow him into our hearts. Let's open our ears and hearts to the Lord. Think of all things not according to the earthly perspective but according to the grace of God. Be patient, don't worry; trust in the living word of God. Together as a Parish community, let's share the good news of Jesus Christ. Allow Christ's truth to take root in your heart. He is the way. When filled with Christ's love, we are better able to spread God's goodness far and wide. Daily let us always labor with the hope of future fruits for the Kingdom of God. Today, reflect on what God is calling you to. What message of hope can you bring to the poor the alienated, and the spiritually hungry? What seed can you plant? What hope can you offer your neighbor? Please pay special attention to the Pontifical So-ciety's letter concerning the needs of our Catho-lic brothers and sisters in Guatemala. May God continue to bless you! Fr. Steve
