Matthew 13:1-9:
The Kingdom of God is “already but not yet” in Jesus’ teaching through parables. In today’s Gospel, Jesus explains that there are wasted seeds and seeds that bear fruit. This highlights why Jesus’ teaching has not been accepted by everyone. He encourages those who do accept him to “bear fruit” for others.
You have known and loved us even before we were formed in our mother’s womb. You created us and your loving handprints are forever on us.
