Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Last week the Lord Jesus summoned us to develop the trait of humility. This week we are asked to develop the trait of receptivity. Due to family obligations, work schedules, and the general busy-ness of our lives, often we do not take the time we need simply to allow God to speak to us. The metaphors used in today's scripture readings remind us that we need to be like fertile soil, awaiting the rain and nutrients that will enrich that soil. For us, the word of God provides the nutrients for the soul. Today, let us be especially attentive to God's saving word, allowing that word to enrich our lives.
Name one way that you can be more receptive to God's action in your own life.

The Golden Arrow
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most
mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved,
adored, and glorified in Heaven, on Earth, and under the Earth, by all the
creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the
most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
