DGeMs- Daily Gospel eMessage

Dear Friend in the Lord,

Living the Faith”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaimed the “Parable of the Sower” to challenge us to respond more faithfully to God’s daily invitation to live the Gospel of Christ.  Ponder on, “We all desire to live God’s Will; and go to heaven when we die.  But, do we often justify our attachments to our ‘comfort zones’, instead of choosing Jesus’ Path?

Fr Philip Heng, S.J.

Mark 4:2-9

Jesus taught the crowd many things in parables, and in the course of his teaching he said to them, ‘Listen! Imagine a sower going out to sow. Now it happened that, as he sowed, some of the seed fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky ground where it found little soil and at once sprang up, because there was no depth of earth; and when the sun came up it was scorched and, not having any roots, it withered away. Some seed fell into thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced no crop. And some seeds fell into rich soil, grew tall and strong, and produced a good crop; the yield was thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold.’

And he said, ‘Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!’
