Gospel
Matthew 13:36-43
As the darnel is gathered up and burnt, so it will be at the end of time
Leaving the crowds, Jesus went to the house; and his disciples came to him and said, ‘Explain the parable about the darnel in the field to us.’ He said in reply, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world; the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom; the darnel, the subjects of the evil one; the enemy who sowed them, the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; the reapers are the angels. Well then, just as the darnel is gathered up and burnt in the fire, so it will be at the end of time. The Son of Man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that provoke offences and all who do evil, and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Then the virtuous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Listen, anyone who has ears!’
Reflection
In life we make all the choices. We choose to be good or choose to be evil. We choose whether to eat or not to eat. Whatever we decide there are consequences. We can end up with the Father or end up in hell. It is because we choose to be the wheat or be choked by the darnel. Always remember we reap what we saw.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus we live in a world where Satan will try bring us apart from you. Help us to remain strong in the face of evil.
