Today's parable is the familiar Wheat and Weeds. ((Mt 13:24-30). We are aware daily of the attempts of the Evil One to sow seeds of discontent, scorn, discouragement and a whole host of undesireable thoughts right along side the most sublime inclinations and thoughts that run constantly through our minds and come out of our mouths.. We wonder at this juxtaposition of "good and evil" constantly assailing us, wearying us, but also forcing us to ask for help. When Paul asked for help with his "thorn in the flesh", the answer was: "My grace is sufficient for you, fo my power is made evident in weakness." (2 Cor. 12:9). Jesus advises that sometimes it is best to allow the weeds to grow, lest in pulling them up, the good plants are destroyed. So we live with these contradiction and allow them to run their course. In the end, they will be weeded out (sorry) and the good in us will prevail.
