Those who sow in untilled soil lose the seed and harvest thorns instead of wheat. We, too, if we sow prayer in the soul but are solidly of the flesh, then, instead of good fruit, we’ll harvest sin. Prayer will be lost or will be sullied by worthless thoughts. Our flesh comes from the earth and, unless it’s cultivated, like the earth, it will never bear good fruit, the fruit of the truth.

Even today through the Parable of the Sower He takes the example of sowing, an image which is very familiar to the farmers. He compares the seed to the word of God, the earth to men’s souls and the various conditions under which one accepts or renounces the word of God in his personal life. Once, a farmer went out to his fields to sow. He sowed in all directions, but ...
