Memorial of Saint Pius of Pietrelcina, Priest

Gospel Lk 8:4-15

When a large crowd gathered, with people from one town after another

journeying to Jesus, he spoke in a parable.

"A sower went out to sow his seed.

And as he sowed, some seed fell on the path and was trampled,

and the birds of the sky ate it up.

Some seed fell on rocky ground, and when it grew,

it withered for lack of moisture.

Some seed fell among thorns,

and the thorns grew with it and choked it.

And some seed fell on good soil, and when it grew,

it produced fruit a hundredfold."

After saying this, he called out,

"Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear."

Then his disciples asked him

what the meaning of this parable might be.

He answered,

"Knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God

has been granted to you;

but to the rest, they are made known through parables

so that they may look but not see, and hear but not understand.

"This is the meaning of the parable.

The seed is the word of God.

Those on the path are the ones who have heard,

but the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts

that they may not believe and be saved.

Those on rocky ground are the ones who, when they hear,

receive the word with joy, but they have no root;

they believe only for a time and fall away in time of temptation.

As for the seed that fell among thorns,

they are the ones who have heard, but as they go along,

they are choked by the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life,

and they fail to produce mature fruit.

But as for the seed that fell on rich soil,

they are the ones who, when they have heard the word,

embrace it with a generous and good heart,

and bear fruit through perseverance."

Perseverance

Is to be persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success (oxford dictionary) or in biblical terms is faithfully enduring and remaining steadfast in the face of opposition, attack, and discouragement. Perseverance involves patience- the ability to endure without complaint and with calmness (James 1:2-4). Perseverance also includes persistence in accomplishing goals and permanence for a lifetime of commitment (2Peter 1:5-7).

James 1:2-4 NIV

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking”

2Peter 1:5-7

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance ; and to perseverance godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love.”

In every life trial and tribulation in the moment of it all it feels never ending. As if we are never going to make it out or to the end of what we are going through or after. It’s not only in the bad things but also in the good things. Whether we’re trying to get out of an abusive controlling environment/relationship or we’re trying to make it out of medical school.

We’re just trying to make it out.

God doesn’t allow us to go through challenging periods of our lives for no reason. If it came easy then it didn’t challenge us and if it challenged us it made us wiser and stronger never weaker. When we endure through the challenges we feel we can do anything in this life we feel untouchable as if nothing can ever tear us down in that moment.

We stayed and remained faithful persistent steadfast calm as possible patient as possible and committed to the end of the challenge we were blessed with. Many times we see our blessings as curses when in reality they are lessons. Every challenge is a teachable moment and anything that teaches us is a blessing. If we were not taught then we wouldn’t know how to face the challenge if it were to come again or know how to help another brother or sister in their face of challenges.

Being able to persevere through all the challenges is a gift not everybody perseveres or even wants to because if we choose to we’re all able to. May we pray and remain faithful through the challenges because the one that endures through it is blessed and I hope you keep on persevering!

God bless you. ❤️

"Of mercy and judgment I will sing; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise.

I will persevere in the way of integrity; when will you come to me?"

~ Psalms 101:1b-2ab

[quotesfromscripture]

“Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always and not to lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor had respect for people. In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, “Grant me justice against my opponent.” 

For a while he refused; but later he said to himself, “Though I have no fear of God and no respect for anyone, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming.” ’ 

And the Lord said, ‘Listen to what the unjust judge says.’ ” 

- Luke 18:1-6 NRSVA (1995)
