~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
Sixth Sunday after Trinity
Brothers and sisters,
This Sunday we read again the Parable of the Sower. In this illustration of the ways of the kingdom of God, seed is scattered in a field. Much of the seed falls on ground that is hostile or ill-suited to receiving the seed; hardened paths, rocky ground, populated by thorns.
The key to understanding this parable is to remember that we are the ground. The question is, what sort of ground are we? Are we willing to receive the word of the kingdom of God - the Good News of God's love and his intentions for us?
Let us prayerfully give thought to how we may better 'prepare the ground' of our hearts, that we may receive from God and bear fruit in abundance.
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
