The Parable of the Sower is both told and explained by Jesus. The seed is the Word of God. This seed is a working Word. It is powerful to do what is was sown to do. The Law of God digs up the hardened path. Baptism waters the new ground. Absolution keeps the ground moist. The Seed is sown. The soil is made rich with Holy Communion. Let us remain having the Word of God sown into our hearts and become mature Christians.
