Message From Father Karl

For the next three Sundays, we linger over Matthew 13 and its parables. This Sunday we hear the parable about the Sower. This story invites us to hear God’s Word as a living seed cast with a generosity that borders on extravagance.


The theme is echoed in Isaiah, who promises that God’s Word is like rain that never fails to bring life. It is repeated in the psalm that sings of valleys shouting for joy under God’s abundance. Jesus's Sower names the truth we know well, that our hearts are sometimes rocky, sometimes thorny, sometimes ready.


Thanks be to God who keeps sowing, tending, and working in us, quietly, patiently, and fruitfully.

See you Sunday, Father Karl
