“Lord, why do you speak to them in parables?” This question opens our pilgrimage into the heart of Jesus’ teaching.

From a first-century fishing boat on the Sea of Galilee, we reflect on what a parable truly is and why Jesus chose this powerful form of instruction. The parables both reveal and conceal, inviting those who listen with faith into a deeper encounter with the Kingdom of Heaven.

As Lent begins, this reflection invites us to pray for eyes that see, ears that hear, and hearts ready to receive the transforming Word of Christ.
