The intimate relationship between your soul the dirt and the Seed of the Word inside of you

The Parable of the Sower
(Mark 4:1-9; Luke 8:4-8 )

1 ¶ On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea.

2 And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3 ¶ Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow.

4 “And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them.

5 “Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth.

6 “But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away.

7 “And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them.

8 “But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

9 “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
