The seed falling on different types of soil represents great enemies of our salvation. Consider the following questions, that your soul may be good soul yielding a hundred fold. [1] Why stand you here all the day idle? Be about the work of doing everything to secure the salvation of your soul. [2] Lord, what will Thou have me to do? Hear Him, and answer with promptness, fidelity, and fervor. [3] What gift, of my time and treasure, shall I offer Thee? The gifts we choose are our response to the graces received from God.
