The Sower (General Audience)

"A rather unusual sower goes out to sow, but does not care where the seed falls. He throws the seeds even where it is unlikely they will bear fruit: on the path, on the rocks, among the thorns. This attitude surprises the listener and induces him to ask: how come?"

Today’s catechesis was given by Pope Leo XIV on May 21, 2025, during his first general audience. This is part of the cycle of catechesis on the theme “Jesus Christ our Hope”. This series of catechesis focuses on the life of Jesus through the parables. This week: the parable of the Sower.
