In the fruitful soil of birth, the word of God becomes flesh. In the thorny soil of suffering, the word of God consoles. In the flowering soil of friendship, the word of God makes sense. In the deep soil of faith the word of God comes to life. And in the times we till our lives with care, compassion, with courage and endurance, with joy and with love, the word of God is sown by Jesus, and bears its rich fruit, and is given to us in the Bread of Life.
