Sexagesima TLM HOLY February 7th, 2021 Fifth Sunday in Sexagesima Sunday

O God, who seest that we put not our trust in any deed of our own, mercifully grant that by the protection of the Teacher of the Gentiles we may be defended against all adversities. Through Our Lord. – From the Collect for the Sexagesima Sunday

As the Church continues to prepare for , the readings for Sexagesima Sunday remind us of the importance of cultivating a heart for the Word of God. In Sunday’s Epistle at the TLM Mass, St. Paul details the immense suffering he has endured to spread the Gospel and why his suffering was so necessary to his mission.

The season, of which Sexagesima Sunday is a part, reminds us of this essential role that suffering plays, particularly physical suffering. But Christians are not stoics—we do not embrace suffering as something to merely be endured. We embrace suffering because we know it is the path to salvation; it is the means by which we cultivate a deeper relationship with Our Lord.

In Sunday’s Gospel, Christ tells the Parable of the Sower, and then explains it to His disciples. In order to receive the Word of God—which is Christ—our hearts must be “good soil” in which the seed can grow. But any farmer will tell you that good soil doesn’t just magically appear; it requires hard work and labor to make it good for planting.

Likewise, we must work hard in order to make our hearts receptive to Christ. A farmer prepares for the planting season by getting his soil ready; likewise, we should use the Septuagesima and Lenten seasons to prepare ourselves for the “planting” of the Word of God into our hearts at .

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
