Machnamh

The word of God is to the human heart
what a seed is to the earth
However, just as the seed needs soil,
so the word needs a receptive heart.
The earth responds to the rain and sun
so that even the desert blooms.
But the arid human heart has the power to resist
so that it remains barren.
Lord, soften our hearts with your grace,
open them with your gentle love,
so that the precious seed of your word
may take root in our hearts,
and bear fruit in our lives.

Smaoineamh

In Jesus’ story the farmer did his part – he sowed the seed. Things were now beyond his control. The one thing he wanted to see happen, namely, for the seed to grow, he couldn’t do anything about. All he could do was wait in patience, humility and hope. These are not easy virtues. Yet life calls for these virtues. Some people think they must always be up and doing – as if everything depended on them. They are unable to take time out, to let things be, to trust, to be patient, to be humble, to wait.
