Gospel
Matthew 13:24-30
Let them both grow till the harvest
Jesus put another parable before the crowds: ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everybody was asleep his enemy came, sowed darnel all among the wheat, and made off. When the new wheat sprouted and ripened, the darnel appeared as well. The owner’s servants went to him and said, “Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? If so, where does the darnel come from?” “Some enemy has done this” he answered. And the servants said, “Do you want us to go and weed it out?” But he said, “No, because when you weed out the darnel you might pull up the wheat with it. Let them both grow till the harvest; and at harvest time I shall say to the reapers: First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be burnt, then gather the wheat into my barn.”’
Reflection
Today Christ again remind the punishment to those who defy God. Darnels and wheat represent man on earth. Wheat are those who follow God and do his will while darnel are those defy God. On judgement day those who defy God are thrown into the fire of hell. We are given the choice how to run our life. Which do we choose?
Let us pray
Touch me, O Lord, and fill me with your light and your hope.
Amen
