The Sower and the Seed

Reflections for Lent 2025

Spring: a season of sowing seeds and watching for green shoots. A time for noticing new growth and wondering what has germinated in the long winter months. A time to think about what we plant, what is planted in us and what is the ground of our being. To shed new light on old parables and look for seeds of hope in difficult times. And to consider the Sower, in whose hands new life flourishes.
