Commentary on the Gospel of
Lectio Divina for Sunday 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Read
• Mark 4:26–34: Jesus preaches in parables. The explanation of the parable of the sower probably comes from the Markan church. There will be a good harvest even if some seed does not produce. Disciples must reflect in their lives what they believe. Faith grows silently and may start small but can eventually become great.
Reflect
• The parable of the sower reflects human life. Everyone faces obstacles in the life of faith. Some days are fruitful (thirty, sixty, a hundredfold) and other days are not. Think about what you believe and how you live your faith.
Pray
• On a good day, thank God. On a poor day, ask for forgiveness and pray to the Holy Spirit to make the next day more faith-filled.
Act
• Each night examine your conscience on the day that has passed.
