“Why do you speak in parables?” - Readings for 7/23/26
In today’s Gospel, the disciples ask Jesus why he speaks to the crowds using parables. He tells them that the knowledge of the Kingdom of Heaven has not yet been granted to the people, even though it has been granted to the disciples. Why were they entrusted with this knowledge? Because they made the choice to step away from their lives and follow Jesus. They could hear the Word of God because their hearts were ready to receive it. Are our hearts ready as well?
Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings:
Jeremiah 2:1-3, 7-8, 12-13
