“Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”
Hearing is such an important sense, yet when
we experience loss it often happens gradually.

Because the progression is slow we do not realize
we no longer hear as well as previously.
As hearing loss progresses we miss
much of what is happening around us.

We misunderstand what is now only being partially being heard.
Our brain is desperately trying to make sense
of what we are able to hear.

Problems arise between us and our loved one.
We both become frustrated because communication is sketchy at best.
The seeds in today's gospel is like one who looses their hearing.
It happens without any forewarning.
The sower is confused as to where he is sowing his seeds.
The results are very mixed...some were eaten by the birds...
some were scorched by the sun.

Hearing and listening are not the same nor

We are Blessed to have the grace available to us.
Through grace we are able to hear and understand.
