Weekly Reflection

Living a Fruitful Faith

07-12-2026 | Fr. Jess Ty

Dear Family of God,

The parable of the Sower in our Gospel this weekend, challenges us to listen intently to God’s Word, to be open to it, and to allow our lives to be shaped by its power. The parable reminds us that man’s reception of God’s Word is determined by the condition of his heart.
