slide1 lNourish What Is Good

Trust in God

The Kingdom of God grows in mixed fields. In the Gospel, Jesus speaks of darnel – weeds that look just like wheat until harvest time – sown secretly by an enemy among the good crop. At first, the two are hard to tell apart, and trying to pull out the darnel too soon would damage the wheat as well.

So, the master says: “Let both grow together until the harvest.” It is a picture of our world, and often of our own hearts: good and evil side by side, generosity and selfishness, faith and doubt all mixed together. We sometimes want quick answers – to sort everything out now, to decide who is “in” and who is “out.” But the parable reminds us that the final judgement belongs to God, who sees more clearly than we do and whose justice is always shaped by mercy.

For today, the invitation is simple: stay close to Christ and focus on growing as wheat, not on identifying the weeds. Nourish what is good – prayer, patience, forgiveness, quiet acts of kindness – even when surrounded by what is cynical or cruel. Trust that God is at work in the hidden places, and that in His time He will gather the good harvest into His barn.
