“Let your light shine”
We are called to be little lights shining brightly and showing others that life is beautiful, regardless of the circumstances. We are called to be little lights radiating Christ so that others can perceive God in their lives. Through our lifestyle as well as through what we say, we communicate the Gospel message as a way to greater happiness.

“Greatness in God’s Sight”
The world tells us to be somebody by being great, admirable and powerful. Jesus, on the other hand, gives us a different message of what greatness truly means.

Greatness is not to be somebody but it is trying to help and serve somebody. It is to serve by releasing our ego, and not bothering how the world sees us. It is to serve with a smile on our face because we are serving God in our brothers and sisters.

1 Corinthians 15:35-37,42-49, Luke 8:4-15
“Committed disciples”
In today’s parable, there was a large crowd gathering and people from every town made their way to Him. What did Jesus see as He looked at the huge number of people? Jesus saw their hearts and perceived that there were people coming to Him with all kinds of attitudes and intentions. Thus, He started the parable of the Sower and the soil in order to challenge them to listen and live out what they understood in their own lives. Jesus did not want ‘fans’ but committed disciples who lived their lives, bearing good fruit of His life and love.
