Thought for the Day: The parable of the sower is told twice, in an original form and in a later, church interpretation. The explanation tends to dominate our reading; but it might be worthwhile allowing the original parable to “speak.” It tells of small, even careless, beginnings, the sower scatters all over the place. As we see in nature, tiny seeds have an astonishing, miraculous effect. Go back over your own experience and recall something which began modestly but which in the end grew surprisingly. The reign of God is like that, the modest beginnings of Jesus’ own preaching had tremendous effect. Prayer: God of every harvest, it can be hard today to be confident about the Good News and yet we know that it is you who give the growth (1 Cor 3:7). Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony)
Pope Leo XIV on X: Only in the cross of Jesus is evil overcome; only in his passion does our mortal weariness find consolation and redemption. In slavery, Christ is liberation. Amid the scourge of war, Christ is hope. In the hour of sin, Christ is forgiveness.
Pope’s Intention for July: For respect for human life. Let us pray for the respect and protection of human life in all its stages, recognising it as a gift from God.
