매일미사 피에트렐치나의 성 비오 사제 기념일

Lk 8:4-15
When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another journeying to Jesus, he spoke in a parable. 
"A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled, and the birds of the sky ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew, it withered for lack of moisture. Some seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it. And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew, it produced fruit a hundredfold."
After saying this, he called out, "Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."
Then his disciples asked him what the meaning of this parable might be.
He answered, "Knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God has been granted to you; but to the rest, they are made known through parables so that they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.
"This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God. Those on the path are the ones who have heard, but the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts that they may not believe and be saved. Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, but they have no root; they believe only for a time and fall away in time of temptation. As for the seed that fell among thorns, they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along, they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they fail to produce mature fruit. But as for the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance."

좋은 땅에 떨어진 것은, 바르고 착한 마음으로 말씀을 듣고 간직하여 인내로써 열매를 맺는 사람들이다.” (루카 8,15)
좋은 땅이 되는 게 쉽지 않음을 압니다.
하지만, 좋은 땅이 될 수 있도록 애쓰고 노력하겠습니다.
하느님께 갈 때에는 좋은 땅으로 기쁘게 만나 뵈었으면 합니다.

주님, 당신의 사제들이 의로움의 옷을 입고, 당신께 충실한 이들이 환호하게 하소서. (시편 132(131),9 참조)

열매를 맺기까지 시련도 찾아오고 유혹도 많을 것입니다. 그러나 인내로 열매를 맺는다고 예수님께서 말씀하셨으니, 그 모두를 견뎌 낼 힘을 겸손하게 청합시다. 씨를 뿌리시는 분께서는 청하는 이의 땅에 기꺼이 거름도 내주실 분이십니다.
