                    [Summary] => 
Are we true and faithful disciples of Christ? How strong and active is our faith in him? Jesus himself describes to us the authentic meaning of Christian discipleship in today’s gospel parable (Mt. 13:1-23). It is an eye-opener that leads us to open our hearts to love and serve him, as he loves and serves us. What then are the four kinds of human seeds that Jesus describes? May I invite each one of our readers to prayerfully reflect under which category you belong to.
