The seed of evil has been planted, for there are indeed false prophets among us who hold to and teach very similar doctrines although theirs hold no truth. They claim to proclaim God’s word leading the flock away with their own interpretation and understanding of scripture.
Some among us who are lacking in faith and a deeper relationship with Jesus and His Church may easily fall prey to their human sensibilities. Then there are those who have simply fallen away from faith through temptations, others unresolved hurts and pains which they blame God for and yet others who choose not to believe.
Our merciful and loving Father is waiting patiently for all of us who have gone astray to return to His fold. Through the powerful saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray for their safe return. Amen.
GOSPEL
Matthew 13:24–30
Jesus proposed a parable to the crowds. “The Kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. The slaves of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’ He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ His slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
