It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants.\u00a0It becomes a large bush, and the \u2018birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.\u2019\u201d He spoke to them another parable.\u00a0\u201cThe kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened.\u201d All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.\u00a0He spoke to them only in parables, to fulfill what had been said through the prophet: <em>I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world. <\/em>Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house.\u00a0His disciples approached him and said, \u201cExplain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.\u201d\u00a0He said in reply, \u201cHe who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom.\u00a0The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.\u00a0Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.\u00a0The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers.\u00a0They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.\u00a0Then the righteous will shine like the sun\u00a0in the kingdom of their Father.\u00a0Whoever has ears ought to hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Opening Prayer: <\/strong>Lord, open my ears to hear your Word. Please teach me the meaning of your parables as they apply to my life of faith.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Encountering Christ:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<li><strong>Mercy and Justice:<\/strong> We would like God to \u201cfix\u201d all the sinful situations that surround us in this world, and pluck out all the weeds, but for reasons only God knows, he allows the weeds to grow alongside the wheat. Jesus told us that God the Father \u201cmakes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust\u201d (Mt 5:45). Each of us also has weeds in the soil of our own hearts. So what can we do about all these weeds? In our own field, we can focus on faithfully receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation to tame the weeds of our soul. For the weeds in our culture, we can pray, especially for people who sin and cause others to sin\u2014those who are blind to their sinful behaviors. And we can console ourselves by remembering that Our Lord says that one day there will be no more evil, sinfulness, or unfairness. \u201cShe [the Church] will not be wounded any longer by sin, stains, self-love, that destroy or wound the earthly community. The beatific vision, in which God opens himself in an inexhaustible way to the elect, will be the ever-flowing well-spring of happiness, peace, and mutual communion\u201d (CCC 1045).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Children of the Kingdom: <\/strong>It can be easy to lose our peace when we think about all the sinful behaviors and outright evil happening in our society today. Trusting that God has a plan for all of his creatures can give us the ability to react peacefully to the weeds we see. We can focus on being \u201cchildren of the Kingdom\u201d by doing God\u2019s will and working to spread Christ\u2019s Kingdom here and now. We practice the virtue of prudence when we mind our own business and remain focused on cultivating our own \u201crich soil\u201d (Mk 4:8).\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Intentional Plantings: <\/strong>Any gardener will tell you that rich, loamy soil is not immune to weeds. In fact, some pretty hearty weeds can grow in good soil if left to take root! The best defense against weeds are intentional plantings. Whatever weeds\u2014sins and vices\u2014we pluck out should be replaced by their opposite virtues. We can ask God to plant new virtues in our hearts, especially after Confession. Those virtues may start out like tiny mustard seeds, but God can use even a tiny speck of faith to grow them into a beautiful reality. With our tending, watering, and pruning, the virtues we strive to cultivate can become fruitful, just as the mustard plant was, filled with the birds of the sky.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Conversing with Christ:<\/strong> Lord Jesus, you are justice and mercy. Please remove the weeds in my heart and cultivate it so that I might be fruitful. Help me to avoid being judgmental of people who are caught in sinful behavior. Instead, help me to pray for them and charitably admonish them to bring them back to the life of grace, if I feel called by the Holy Spirit to do so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Resolution<\/strong>: Lord, today by your grace I will consider what weeds are growing in the soil of my heart and offer them to you in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carey Boyzuck is a wife, mother, freelance writer, and a lay member of Regnum Christi.
