  • Do we have hearts that are ready for the Gospel?
    July 16, 2014  |  The Latest  |  

    Archbishop Gomez is on vacation this week. The following is adapted from his homily last Sunday at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. His column will return next week.

    The passage from the Gospel that we heard this morning is the “parable of the sower,” a parable that we know well.

    As we know, the “sower” is a farmer who is going out to plant seeds. And as we heard, some of his seeds fell on the pathway that he is walking on. Some of it fell on ground that was filled with rocks and some more of it got tangled up in thorns. And finally, some of the seed fell on good soil and was able to grow.
