10 When the crowd went away, some who were around him with the Twelve asked about the parables. 11 He answered them, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But for those outside, everything comes in parables, 12 so that the more they see, they don’t perceive; the more they hear, they don’t understand; otherwise they would be converted and pardoned.”
My Beloved, Your word says that when the crowd went away those who remained with the Twelve asked You what this parable meant and You interpreted what the parable meant to them.
Those who stay with the Twelve are the members of Your One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. To its members You have given the grace and gift to understand, appreciate and accept, through faith, the teaching of Holy Mother Church. To plumb the depths, breadth, height and length of the wonderful mysteries of our faith. We accept the teaching authority of the Church, we submit to her guidance in matters of faith and morals. She guides us through the turbulent waters of the world safely to our eternal home. This is Your Church that has given the world so many holy men and women who shine with Your light, as Your witnesses to the world, all that is possible with You.
