11^th Sunday in Ordinary Time 13^th June: Focus: The seed of faith is in our hearts, & grace helps it to bear fruit. – Jesus speaks his word to the crowds in parables because that is how they were able to understand it. Today, he uses agrarian images. Although farming is dependent on many variables the farmer has no control over, the seed of faith planted on our hearts is totally in our control. Will we take the time to weed? Will we take the time to water?
