Generous and good heart

“… the seed that fell on rich soil, they are the ones who, when they have heard the word, embrace it with a generous and good heart, and bear fruit through perseverance.” (Lk 8: 15)

We are invited to protect  “a generous and good heart” in us Only that kind of heart listens carefully to the word, embraces it and bears fruit. We need also perseverance because every fruit requires time to grow.

“Blessed are they who have kept the word with a generous heart and yield a harvest through perseverance.” (Gospel Acclamation)
