Let the Word of God Take Root in You - Bishop Barron's Sunday Sermon

About this sermon

Friends, on this Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we continue our reading of the Gospel of Matthew. In chapter 13, Jesus gives a series of seven very memorable parables, the first four having to do with the growth of the kingdom of God. The first of these, which we’re reading from today, is the parable of the sower. What do we hear? That it’s never a question of God being reticent or holding back his grace. The problem comes from our side: We block the word of God, setting up obstacles to it that prevent it from taking root. There’s the drama, if you want, of the spiritual life.
