This window depicts the parable of the Sower of the Seed (Matthew 13:1-8) The theme challenges one to listen to the Word of God attentively and respond in obedience.
Upper Part of Central Panel: The hand of the Sower casting seed, which is the Word (Mk 4:14)
The Right Panel: A flock of birds hungrily sweeping down ready to devour the seed. Thorns choke out the few remaining blades which have grown.
The Left Panel: The seeds which have fallen into deep, rich soil have flourished and sprouted heads of grain. You will notice that the seeds, from which this grain has sprouted, have within them small crosses. These were the seeds that learned dying to self, and therefore rising to the larger life. (John 12:24)
The Lower Part of the Central Panel: Some seeds fall on rocky ground, are scorched by the sun and wither for lack of roots. Note: In both the left and right panels, rain falls in jewel-like droplets from the clouds. Beside the hand of the Sower one sees the sun. This implies that all these seeds were furnished elements necessary for their survival: sun, rain and soil.
