Reflection by Christel Casse (Lay Pastoral Assistant)
Becoming Good Soil
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus invites us to reflect on the condition of our hearts. God’s Word is generously sown, but it bears fruit only when we welcome it with faith and live it each day. May we ask the Lord to make us good soil, so that His love may grow within us and be shared with others.
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Saturdays from 11:30am to 12 Noon.
SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION is available during Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and after weekday Mass.
