In today’s Gospel Jesus says three parables about the kingdom of heaven. The first one is about a man who sowed good seed in his field, but when it grew up weeds also grew up. Jesus gives the explanation saying it is the act of the enemy. That enemy is the devil who sows evil things among the good deeds of the people. It reminds us that in spite of the good deeds we do, the devil is very alert to bring in evil thoughts and evil deeds. Also, we have to be very careful in weeding out also, that means there is the danger of some people being unnecessarily criticised or judged while correcting them. We have the sacramental opportunity to repent ourselves and get rid of all evils from our life. Amen.
