St Francis de Sales
2 Samuel 7:4-17; Psalm 89; Mark 4:1-20
Speak Lord, your servant is listening
Jesus clearly explains this Gospel for us. It’s up to us to give his words fertile soil. Scripture presents us with the living word of God. We may read the word of God or listen to it, but at times we do not allow it to penetrate the soil of our hearts. It doesn’t matter if we take ages over a single passage or chapter. If we approach Scripture with a listening heart then the Lord can speak gently to us. Just a short passage each day will allow God to plant the seeds of his love in our lives.
