Psalm – 65:10-14
- “The seed that falls on good ground will yield a fruitful harvest.”
- God blesses the earth and prepares it to abound in a rich crop of food.
2nd Reading – Romans 8:18-23
- Paul counts his present suffering as nothing when compared to the glory of God.
- While all creation is groaning at this moment, we have the first fruits of the Spirit and await the redemption of our lives.
Gospel – Matthew 13:1–23
- Jesus offers the parable of the sower who sowed his seed.
- Some seed fell on the path, some on rocky ground, some among thorns, and some fell on good soil where it produced a fruit.
