We are all beggars living under God’s Grace

Drawing of the Ash Cross on the Forehead of the Faithful, Custom on the Ash Wednesday in Bavaria, Germany. Artist Unknown.

Our homily for this Ash Wednesday is based upon a Psalm that is familiar to us
who have been receiving God’s gifts through the ancient public services (liturgies) of

Our text for this morning from the Gospel of St. Luke is commonly called the Parable of the Sower. This is actually a parable about four different kinds of dirt, or soil. The emphasis is not on the sower at all—although we will have a thing or two to say about him—but the focus is on the different kinds of soil into which the sower’s seed falls. To put it another way, this is not a parable about the preacher, it’s about the hearers….For more, click on the title above.
