Let them grow together until the harvest.

Ss Joachim & Anne.

Jeremiah 7:1-11
How lovely is your dwelling-place, Lord, mighty God!
Ps 83(84):3-6, 8, 11
Matthew 13:24-30
Readings: Text

When the master of today’s parable is told that weeds have been sown among the wheat he has planted, his only thought is for the good of the wheat.

For all farmers, the appearance of weeds among the wheat is a cause of frustration and annoyance because the weeds must be tolerated until the time of harvest. But the farmer must remain focused on the life of the wheat and providing the care and nutrients it needs for life, just as God remains faithful to the life of God’s people.

The Master chooses to give the wheat time to come to the fullness of its life just as we are given the chance to come into the fullness of our own lives.
