6154. 'Look, here is seed for you, and you may sow the ground' means the good of charity and the truth of faith that are to be implanted. This is clear from the meaning of 'seed' as truth derived from good, or faith from charity, thus both of them, dealt with in 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3038, 3310, 3373, 3671; from the meaning of 'sowing' as implanting; and from the meaning of 'ground' as receptacles, dealt with in 6135-6137 But once the truth and good have been implanted, 'the ground' no longer means a receptacle of them but that which actually constitutes the Church, as with 'the field', 566.
