A Message of Hope There is a powerful message of hope in today’s readings despite our longing for a perfect world, or perfect human beings we know that cannot be. We live in an imperfect world, with the good and the bad, “the wheat and the weed.” (Mt. 13:25) There is a call to be patient when the Lord says: “Let both grow together until the harvest.” (Mt 13:30) Though there will be evil in the world because of sin. We should not be indifferent, but through prayer and patience we will hopefully resist it. In times of despair or feelings of hopelessness, when we find it difficult to pray, there is great consolation in Romans 8:26-27: “the Spirit helps us in our weakness... and intercedes for us.” In that hope, let us bloom where we are planted, amidst the “wheat and the weeds” and nurture every glimmer of goodness wherever we meet it.
Bloom where you are planted! God gives the growth.
