THE GOOD HARVEST

WE HAD A COUPLE  OF MY FAVOURITE AND MOST RECOGNIZED READINGS TODAY AT MASS : THE PARABLE OF THE MUSTARD SEED AND THE PARABLE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BEING COMPARED TO THE MAN WHO SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD ONLY TO BE THWARTED BY THE ENEMY WHO SOWED WEEDS ALL THROUGH THE WHEAT.

WE STRIVED TO SHARE THE SMALL , GOOD ‘SEEDS’ OF WISDOM AND FAITH WITH OUR FAMILY IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WOULD GROW UP TO DISPLAY STRONG ROOTED GOODNESS OF CHARACTER AS ADULTS. WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO SEE OUR CHILDREN BECOME THESE GOOD AND KIND MEN AND WOMEN.  AND THEY, IN TURN, ARE SHARING THEIR GIFTS OF KINDNESS WITH THEIR CHILDREN AND/OR FRIENDS.

THE ‘ENEMY’ CONTINUES TO TRY AND SOW WEEDS INTO OUR HARVEST BUT SOMEDAY THE HARVESTERS WILL COLLECT THE WEEDS AND TIE THEM INTO BUNDLES FOR BURNING.  THE WHEAT WILL BE GATHERED INTO THE BARN . AND THERE WILL BE REJOICING!

I PRAY FOR YOUR CROPS TO BE  HEALTHY , HAPPY , AND HEARTY .

HAPPY SUNDAY ALL.
