Reflection

The word of God is to the human heart

what a seed is to the earth.

However, just as a seed needs soil,

so the word needs a receptive heart.

The earth responds to the rain and sun

so that even the desert blooms.

But the arid human heart has the power

to resist so that it remains barren.

Lord, soften our hearts with your grace.

Open them with your gentle love,

so that the precious seed of your word

may take root in our hearts,

and bear fruit in our lives.
