Learning by Heart

Matthew 13:3-9
Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"

Arcana Coelestia 6516:3
When the Word is read, the Lord comes in and teaches.

Exodus 19:8
All that the Lord has spoken we will do.

Luke 11:28
Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it.
