The Seed, the Soil and the Preacher

What are we sowing by our words and actions?

Highlights

  • Based on current recommendations and requirements from the Province, the local Health Unit and the Diocese, wearing a mask at Mass is still highly recommended, but not required. We politely remind you that they are mandatory in most public indoor spaces and retail settings. Our very own Dr. Randy Montag made a video explaining mask use and how to use one.
  • Welcome Fr. Emmanuel Azike! Fr. Emmanuel has arrived at the Parish and is settling in well. Please keep him in your prayers, and be sure to greet him if you call or see him around the church!
  • Weekday Mass will begin again on Tuesday evening. Mass will be held in the Narthex/Lenhard Room and not in the church. Please allow yourself a bit of extra time the first time you attend.

Matthew 13:24-43

Discussion Questions

  1. To be a baptized Christian means you are a preacher – you must sow the seeds of faith in your family, work and community. How has this been going so far? What are the biggest challenges?
  2. Has someone been a “sower” of faith in your life? What did this person do or say to you that had an impact?

This week’s Challenge

Do your prayers focus on your worries and problems? Spend some time talking to God about the next step – and tell him you’re open to whatever he wants to “sow” in you.
