Ultimately, this is the question that is begged to be answered in today's Gospel. At our weekly school Mass today, our pastor enlisted the help of four 4th graders to act out the story of the sower and the seed. With some prompting, the students "fell" on the ground, were "choked" by thorns, and "took root" in good soil. It was quite entertaining...and also memorable.
After the homily, he asked us to think about if our hearts are ready for Jesus - or are they too hard? Good to think about...hmm...
Mixing it up at Mass - nice one, Father. I think the kids are more likely to remember this Gospel passage now that they've seen it with their own eyes.
