Listen keenly to the singular privilege of being addressed by Almighty God — and be fruitful!
Homily for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, delivered in Our Lady Star of the Sea, Gladstone, Qld.
"Thus says the Lord: ‘As the rain and the snow come down from the heavens and do not return without watering the earth, making it yield and giving growth to provide seed for the sower and bread for the eating, so the word that goes from my mouth does not return to me empty, without carrying out my will and succeeding in what it was sent to do.’" (cf. Is 55).
"The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest." (cf. Ps 65).
"I think that what we suffer in this life can never be compared to the glory, as yet unrevealed, which is waiting for us." (cf. Rom 8).
"Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeside, but such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat there. The people all stood on the beach, and he told them many things in parables." (cf. Mt 13).
