Is the Good News, the Word of God meant to be a secret? Are the parables meant to remain just parables? A mystery? Do we not listen with hearts made pure? To discern the message for us? Are we selfishly keeping the Good news to ourselves? Or are we sharing it? Are we the light for others? Do we let the light of Christ shine bright through us?
Do we let the Holy Spirit guide us in our interpretation of the Gospel? Or do we fit our own ideas and interpretation to admonish or teach others?
The more faithful we are to hear the truth and share the truth, we increase in our virtues and are abundantly fruitful and blessed. Praise the Lord our God!
Gospel Mark 4:21-25
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (RSVCE)
A Lamp under a Bushel Basket
21 And he said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not on a stand? 22 For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. 23 If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.” 24 And he said to them, “Take heed what you hear; the measure you give will be the measure you get, and still more will be given you. 25 For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”
