July 21, 2021 Wednesday of the Sixteenth Week in Ordinary Time Matthew 13:1-9 This parable speaks about the seed, the soil and the sower. But in today’s reflection I would like to highlights on the seed and the one who sow it. You know what, it was the same seeds sown in different spot. What is interesting is that the condition of the soil-(hard path, rocky, thorny and good soil). Folks, our reception to God’s Word can be compared to the different kinds of soils that received the seed. The types of soil represents our struggles and difficulties but with Jesus all obstacles are not a hindrance for us to be productive. With Jesus we can bear more fruits. Production is our mission! Friends, when God releases us from His hands He wanted to unleash our potentials. God knows and is aware that some of the seeds will fall in different types of ground but He keeps on planting. Why? Because He knows we will grow and bear fruits. Folks, we are those seeds. God keeps on sowing because He trusts and believes in us that amidst of the struggles we will meet at the end will remain fruitful. We grow when we face challenges. Keep going and keep growing because God’s hands is holding and protecting you. Let me end by saying: like the seed you have so much potentials than you know. Set big goals and believe in yourself. The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. Friends, you have unlimited potentials within you. Inside of every seed is the potential for an incredible harvest. Your potentials are limitless. Go, do what you were created to do. Never allow those obstacles prevent you from reaching your full potentials. Blessings Fr. Jhack A
