15th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

“Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path,… Other seeds fell on rocky ground, … Other seeds fell among thorns, … Other seeds fell on good soil …. Let anyone with ears listen!”…
~Matthew 13:3-9 (excerpts)
 
This familiar parable of the sower and the seeds falls right in the heart of the summer growing season. Knee-high corn and its lessons of well-being and maturation are tilled together with the story of Jacob the heel-grabber and his hungry brother Esau.
 
The long season of Ordinary Time provides us with ample opportunities to reap wisdom and understanding from these ancient stories and parables that speak through time to humanity of humanity.
 
Let anyone with ears listen!
 
Enter into worship.
 
Readings: Genesis 25:19-34 † Psalm 119:105-112 † Romans 8:1-11 † Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23
