With a generous and good heart

“But as for 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.”

Our hearts were created by God, and only when we are totally devoted to Him can we be fulfilled and happy. Our hearts, to be “generous and good,” need to be in touch with “the word.” Our Lord, when we listen to Him, can change our hearts because He loves us and wants the best for us. 

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