Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of Christ

Today’s Gospel was from Lk 8:4-15, about the Parable of the Sower. We must accept the grace that God has given us. He has given us a new birth and nourishes us with His Body and Blood. In accepting this grace, we must grow in our spiritual life. The human effort to grow in our spiritual life can be seen in creating good soil for the word to be implanted. How do we grow in our spiritual life? We grow through our intentional study of the Word of God and through putting what we study into action. This homily was based on an article by Fr. Matthew the Poor entitled “Be Transformed.” You can find it here.
