16th Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)



Readings: Wisdom 12: 13, 16-19; Romans 8: 26-27; Matthew 13: 24-43

Gospel Passage: “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’.” (Matthew 13: 30)

Meditation: Meditating on the weed and the wheat, we pray that we become the wheat and not the destructive weed that is destined for burning…

It is a mystery why God does NOT immediately prune society or community of weeds but waits until each person’s nature is revealed.  This would allow us to recognize the process that transforms us and in others from what look bad at the beginning into something good. Thus we need to be OPEN…!
