SIXTEENTH SUNDAY OF YEAR A
19th July 2020


Dear Parishioner,

Today we celebrate the Sixteenth Sunday of the Year.

In the Gospel we read Jesus said "I will speak to you in parables". Today's reading is the parable of the sower.

In general we reap what we sow. We can't expect to reap good if we have sown evil. We must sow peace if we do not want to reap conflict. We must sow loyalty if we do not want to reap betrayal. We must sow honesty if we do not want to reap deceit.

So let us sow with good seed.

God bless,

Deacon Kevin.
