“Hear then the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.”

Ouch! Now you’re getting personal!
The proper lectionary is cited, however the scripture citation in the comic strip itself is not accurate. Small point, but thought you might like to know. Poignant message in the strip!
Hey Chuck, thanks for the alert eye to detail. We’ve made the correction to the citation. Your check is in the mail.
Aww Peter, you say the nicest things.
