A VOICE goes out - but are we listening?

The Jubilee horn has sounded, calling us into a special Holy Year, but is anyone listening? Today's gospel reading is taken from the gospel of Mark 4:1-20, the parable of the Sower of Seed. In it, Jesus describes the various situations the messengers of the Good News must face. No doubt, these will apply to the proclamation of this Jubilee Year of Mercy. In previous Posts, I provided meditations on this parable under the heading, The Problem With Weeds. A second look at these might be helpful as we set off into these days of grace that lie before us.
