There's a reason for every existence in life. Although God created ex nihilo He has a plan for all that He has created. Whatever you are doing, wherever you are, whatever you are passing through, cannot be by chance or by mere coincidence. There's a purpose for everything that is happening to you.
Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before ever you were conceived, I consecrated you. (Jeremiah 1:4-5)
This statement of the Lord can be applied in a general way. Each person has a place in God's plan. You are important to God. For Him you are special, unique and wonderful.
And so, those who procure abortions and those advise people to procure abortion should realise that they are committing a very heinous crime and sin. God knows all the unborn even before they were conceived, who are you to cut short the life of those who are already in the knowledge of God?
Also in the Gospel reading, the farmer went about sowing but some seeds were fell on wrong places like the edge of the path, the thorns and even on rocks. However, the farmer didn't go about crying and wasting time complaining about the seeds that will be lost. No because there is a reason for that. And because of that he wasn't discouraged but he was patient and continued with what he was doing and eventually had a huge harvest.
In life there may be times when your efforts achieve no result. That was what happened to Jesus. He wasn't received by many. Some openly accused him, cast him out and killed him. But inspite of all these, the Gospel preached by Jesus Christ still bears fruit. There's then no room for discouragement. The lesson of the parable is patience.
Be patient with me because I knew you right before I formed you in your mother's womb. Align your will with mine because I have a purpose for you which I want you to discover and you can only discover it if you remain with me with strong faith and love.
