Jesus said: “My people, the people of My day were well acquainted with farming because this is how they grew their crops to eat. So when I spoke of a seed of wheat must die in order to grow the wheat, this related well to how people must die to themselves in order to grow in faith in Me. I also spoke of harvesting crops in the fall, and how it related to the harvest of souls by converting them in faith. You need to nourish the crops with water and fertilizer, just as you need to nourish your faith with prayer, Confession, and My Holy Eucharist. I love all of My people, and I call all of you to come to Me so I can strengthen your faith, so you are ready to meet Me at your judgment. Your spiritual desire is to be with Me in heaven for all eternity. I spoke of separating the wheat of My faithful from the weeds of the evil ones. That at the harvest I will gather the wheat into My barn of heaven and the weeds will be burned up in hell. These analogies of farming and souls still applies to all life on the earth.”
