Personal prayer cycle · Day 21 of 31 · Mark 4:1–20
Read Mark 4:1–20 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.
Jesus describes different ways a word can be received. Distraction, pressure, and shallow roots can all hinder growth. The point is not to label ourselves hopelessly. We can tend the soil of our lives by making room for attention, perseverance, and a faithful response.
Bring it to prayer
What is crowding out the good I want to grow?
One act of faith
Reduce one distraction during prayer today.
Original meditation by Life of the Saints. This is part of a repeating personal-prayer cycle, not an assignment of the Mass Gospel.
