DAILY HOMILIES #rich soil

It is instructive to note that even among those who bore fruit, not all were the same. Some were thirty, others sixty and others a hundred. We may not all have the same gifts and abilities, but we are called to give our best. We may not all bear the same number of fruits, but God demands that we be fruitful.

Let us teach our children to develop rich soils by cultivating in them the virtues of trusting in God, the discipline of hard work, the willingness to follow the more difficult route and the beauty of patience.
