Good seed on fertile ground… that’s a beautiful way to find fulfillment during lent season.
A great saint once said that
ignorance of scriptures is ignorance of Christ, but how can we fall in love with the task of being good soil and allowing good seed to flourish within us?
I found this post on BPS Lay Ministry blog to be one of the most practical advice on how to fall in love with the Word as a Catholic christian.
