March 7, 2021 - Today is our second day of preparation for Great & Holy Lent. We are given the "Parable of the Sower" from the Gospel of St. Luke chapter 8. Our Lord is encouraging us to tend to the soil of our soul that the seed of life He has planted blossoms. Jesus is also showing us the need to be sober and vigilant against anything that would stand to choke out the life-bearing seed of grace He has given us. Today we look at an issue we all deal with from time to time; the issue of unforgiveness. When we struggle to forgive, it is like the thorns that choke out the life that God has given us. Today we look at why this is the truth. We also look at Christ and His Nature seeking to find the path of forgiveness so that our souls may mend and be set free.
