Thank you, Father Luke. The part about the parable of the sower made me think about how the seeds often fall to me on "rocky ground" because of the rush from the store. I will try to leave more time for prayer this Sunday so that it takes root.

Good morning, Bogdan. The parable of the sower struck me this year too, because the other day I found myself reading the Gospel while thinking about what I was going to cook after the service. I will also try to leave the cell phone in the bag on Sunday, so that the seed does not fall on the thorns again. Thank you, Father Luke.

Good morning Helen. The same thing happens to me often, especially when I'm in a hurry to get home to leaven the bread for lunch. Since yesterday I left the mobile phone in the cupboard all Sunday and my mind calmed down a bit. We'll see if it lasts.
