Today’s gospel is all about how the good and evil of our world must exist together until the end of time. If you know anything about farming I am sure today’s parable makes sense to you. Pulling weeds can also damage the good crop, but in this parable the Lord is also showing His mercy. As Christians, we strive to be the wheat, but let’s face it, sometimes we fall short and unfortunately represent the weeds. No, we are not intrinsically evil, but God reminds us that we are not perfect, and that we need His Mercy, which is life-giving and endless. This gives us hope because we too can change and become part of a richer soil that bears much fruit.
So as we continue to lift each other up in prayer, let us remain humble, filled with gratitude, and always in awe of the Mercy of our God.
I really like how you used farming as an example in today’s gospel
Thanks…. I lived on a farm when I was younger, so I guess you could say it is in my blood. LOL
