Fr. Cajetan Cuddy, O.P. reflects on Matthew 13 and the Parable of the Sower.
Every seed hears the word, but not every seed bears fruit. Some receive it with joy, yet have no root. Others hear and understand, becoming deeply rooted in Christ.
Jesus reveals that lasting faith is more than an emotional response or intellectual interest. True understanding comes only by remaining rooted in Him, the eternal Word.
The Christian life begins by hearing Christ, grows through understanding Him, and bears fruit by remaining rooted in Him.
