Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Do You Stretch Before Mass

One year back in college I decided to take a Karate class beingoffered on campus Every class began with a series of stretchingexercises I must have been the stiffest person in the class as Ipathetically and unsuccessfully struggled to force myself intostretching positions There I was trying my best not to look like Iwas doing a physical comedy routine as I battled with me limbs asif they were deliberately working against me The experience atthe first class was so humiliating that I decided to spend an hour

before every class stretching on my own so that by the time I gotto the class I could keep up with the others The decision to dothis pre-class stretching session significantly boosted my ability tomore fully participate in the class increased my confidence andled to me getting much more out of the whole experience

In the Gospel today Jesus shares the parable of the sower whoscatters seeds upon multiple surfaces Any experienced farmerwill tell that even the best seed is useless if it is scattered onto soilthat has not been properly prepared Jesus makes a similarobservation regarding the heartrsquos ability to be affected by theldquoseedrdquo of Godrsquos Word How often do we set ourselves up to get

the least possible from Mass by doing absolutely nothing toprepare for the experience We prepare before the driverrsquos testthe final exam the job interview the championship game animportant speech and even prepare the turkey before putting it inthe oven Yet on Sunday we justhelliprdquoGo to Massrdquo sit back in ourpews and mdash almost as a dare mdash wait for the leaders of the liturgyto impress us ldquoGo ahead Father Choir lectorshellip make my day rdquoWell Farmer Smith Gonzalo Dressler and Kelley AND thereaders and choir at the liturgy will be generously sowing the bestseed ever invented each Sunday If you prepare by reflecting onthe readings beforehand arriving early to pray for openness towhatever God wants you to receive and if possible making agood confession or act of contrition then donrsquot be surprised if youwalk away from the whole experience a profoundly changedperson Yes Godrsquos Word will do that
