Are You Good Soil? The Parable of the Sower and Your Spiritual Life

This homily uses the parable of the sower to emphasize that spiritual fruitfulness requires consistent commitment, not just good intentions or occasional attendance at Mass. The priest challenges listeners to examine the 'soil' of their hearts, asking if they are becoming more patient, forgiving, generous, and joyful, and highlights that God's grace is always being sown, but the receptiveness of our hearts determines the harvest.
