HOW'S YOUR SEEDING GOING?

I'd like to share a special thought with you.
During the period of Shavuot, one book in particular is read in Israel; it's the book of Ruth. My thought is taken from this book:
Ruth 2,8:
Boaz said to Ruth: Listen, my daughter, don't go and glean in another field; don't go far from here, and stay with my maids. Ruth 2,21-23:
Ruth the Moabitess said: He also said to me, Stay close to my servants, until they have finished all my harvest. And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that people do not meet you in any other field.” So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
The Divine Word is a "seed" conveyed by sowers who are different from one another.
The listeners are those who must be impregnated by the seed carried by the sowers.
The problem with the Church today is that we don't understand that, for us to bear life, we must already be faithful to a seed, and therefore to a sower. Listen to Naomi, the woman who left Bethlehem for the apparent prosperity of Moab, hear her say "LET NO ONE MEET YOU IN ANOTHER FIELD".
Let's read Ecclesiastes 12,13:
The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given BY ONE SHEPHERD.
To bear fruit, you'll need to attach yourself to just ONE teacher; it is the relationship with the "bridegroom" that opens your spiritual "womb" and gives you life. Today, spiritual children go from one laying on of hands to another, like changing socks to keep it polite. All this, without understanding the true meaning!
It's not the accumulation of the laying on of hands that will change you, but rather your full and true submission at the feet of a messenger!

It's not the repeated sowing of different seeds in the same field that you are that will facilitate fertilization, because the problem afterwards will be to answer the question: Whose son is he?
Let's finish with Ruth 3,8-11:
In the middle of the night, the man was frightened; he bent down, and behold, a woman was lying at his feet. He said, "Who are you? She answered, "I am Ruth, your handmaid; spread your wing over your handmaid, for you have the right of redemption. “The Lord bless you, my daughter,” he replied. “THIS KINDNESS is greater than that which you showed earlier: You have not run after the younger men, whether rich or poor. And now, my daughter, don’t be afraid. I will do for you all you ask. All the people of my town know that you are a woman of noble character.
Let yourself be impregnated with the Divine word that has been sent to you or that you have recognized as such. When you don't, you start the seed race and the rejection of ongoing "spiritual fetuses".
When Elizabeth was impregnated, she hid for 6 months. Learn to hide after you've been impregnated, lest you lose what you've been given.
Honour the covenant you're in so you can see the fruits, otherwise you're lying to yourselves.
Recognize your "holy man of God" and cling to him, so that not only will you have a son, but he will also bring him back to life in the event of death!
May the faithfulness of Ruth the Moabitess teach us!
Good meditation to all
