The seed fell on good soil: this Sunday's gospel
This Sunday, July 12, the Catholic liturgy offers the parable of the sower, with the first reading from the book of Isaiah (55:10-11) and psalm 64. The psalm repeats: "The seed fell on good soil and yielded fruit." The image of God's word as rain that fertilizes the earth dominates the readings.
The word that does not return empty
In the first reading, Isaiah compares the divine word to the rain and snow that come down from heaven and do not return without having watered the earth, making it fertile and causing the seed to sprout. It is a metaphor for the effectiveness of God's word: it does not come back empty, but fulfills its purpose.
Tradition and digital prayer
The thread includes the homily by Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary, and the invitation to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 3:00 pm and the Holy Rosary at 10:00 pm. It also mentions Holy Mass broadcast live from Corvera, Asturias, and the readings of the saints' calendar. The tradition of trinc the daily gospel has moved to digital platforms, where communities of the faithful share these texts.
The central message of the Sunday is that God's word, like the seed, bears fruit when it finds fertile soil. A reflection that goes beyond the religious and speaks to personal receptivity.
