"Do you nurture the Seed?" - Readings for 5/27/26

About this episode

Sr. Ann reflects on the importance of nurturing the seed of eternal life within us through scripture and the Holy Spirit.

In today’s First Reading, Peter reminds us that we have been born anew – not from a perishable seed, but from an imperishable seed through the living Word of God. The seed in you is a seed of eternal life. Do you water it? Do you nurture it? Do you feed it? Do you cause it to grow in you by being open to the work of the Holy Spirit? This word has power for all generations forever. Enter in to the river of living water. Drink deeply from its source. Read it daily. Sr. Ann reflects on today’s readings: 1 Peter 1:18-25 Psalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20 Mark 10:32-45 Sr. Ann’s Books Deeper Conversion Extraordinary Grace for Ordinary Times More of the Holy Spirit Captured By Mercy This is a public episode.
