Dear brothers and sisters,

Below is Parable of the Sower in the Bible.

¹ That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. ² Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. ³ Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴ As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵ Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶ But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷ Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. ⁸ Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. ⁹ Whoever has ears, let them hear.” (Matthew 13:1-9.)

Then Jesus explained to them what the Parable means.

 ¹⁸“Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: ¹⁹ When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. ²⁰ The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. ²¹ But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. ²² The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. ²³ But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” (Matthew 13:18-23.)

So, when we read these words of Jesus, we should ask ourselves: “Who am I?

Which seed am I? Am I the seed sown along the path? Or am I the seed falling on rocky ground? Or am I the seed falling among the thorns? Can I be the seed falling on good soil?

Who am I?”

Knowing who I am is an important thing. We only can grow when we know who we are. We’ll stand still in one place when we don’t know who we are.

How to know who I am?

Read again Matthew 13:18-23.

Reading the Bible is to know our self.

Have a nice day.

Chào các bạn,

“Hãy dâng nước Nga cho Mẹ và Trái tim Mẹ sẽ thắng” – Đó là tóm tắt lời Đức Mẹ Fatima.

Đức Mẹ Fatima là 1 trong số nhiều tước hiệu mà người Công giáo dành cho Đức Mẹ Maria. Tước hiệu này phát xuất từ việc Đức Mẹ hiện ra với 3 em bé ở làng Fatima (1 ngôi làng hẻo lánh ở Bồ Đào Nha) vào năm 1917. Đó là 3 em bé chăn cừu: Lúcia Santos 10 tuổi, và 2 người em họ Francisco Marto 9 tuổi và Jacinta Marto 7 tuổi. Đức Mẹ hiện ra 6 lần từ tháng 5 đến tháng 10 vào ngày 13 mỗi tháng. Mỗi lần cho các em một thông điệp để chuyển lại cho thế giới. Continue reading Hy sinh cho những linh hồn nhiều lầm lỗi →
