Sexagesima Sunday 2024
St. Gregory tells us that this Gospel needs no explanation, because Our Lord explained it Himself. We must ask ourselves, are we the “good ground” or are we the “bad ground”? It is a dogma of our Faith that everyone, without discrimination, is given the chance to be saved. If we are saved, God saves us; if we are lost, we have lost ourselves. St. Paul teaches us in his Epistle to follow his example. He encourages us to abandon our sins, and become great saints, willing to suffer for Christ. It is essential that we practice mental prayer and spiritual reading and think of God frequently throughout the day. Without these helps it is difficult to be saved.
