The sower and the seed

Today's Gospel is that of the sower who went out to sow. Some seed fell on the path, some on rocky ground, some seed feel among thorns, and some seed fell on rich ground and produced fruit. Jesus told this parable and then said, "Whoever has ears ought to hear."

I guess we can find ourselves in all the places and I once heard a very holy priest in Chile say that to bear fruit we should be able to recognize ourselves in all four places where the seed fell.
