Mark 4:1-20

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Mark 4:1-20
“Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”

Reflection
The Gospel speak for itself, the consequences of understanding the word of the Lord depends on the later actions that of those who heard it. There is no benefit in spreading the word when the listeners themselves do not fully comprehend the message it conveys, more so when they get blind on false promises with temporary treasures and riches. How often do we listen to God in our life?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “…the communion in mission is a spirit that allows one to trust one another…” This challenges to listen to God for whatever task he will give to us. He encourages us to listen not only by our ears but listen with our hearts too to understand the need of others. As Lasallians, we are formed to listen to the needs of others and respond well for the common good.
