"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field." -Matthew 13:24

"The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. The field is the world and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons 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."


Since time immemorial evil and temptation is always present in our lives. Satan will grind away the weakness of our character. He will tell us that life is full of inequities and disappointments. He will seek to rob our joy and diminish our relationship with the Lord while God is working to bring us into his kingdom Satan is working to keep us out.

We should be patient like God. In the battle against evil we must not forget that our methods are to be different than the world because inappropriate actions will do more harm. We are to love our enemies and soften the hardness of their hearts just like how Jesus loves us.

We make fatal mistakes but our God is lenient and forgiving he will never condemn us, just like the owner of the field in the parable. He is aware that there are weeds in his fields and it could poison others if they were mixed with his wheat but instead he refused to pull it out and wait for the harvest time for him to separate his wheat from the weeds because of his unconditional love for us he value every one of us and accept us for who we are despite of our differences and imperfections.

 God changes our hearts and lives. One thing I learned in life is that we need to trust the plans that God has stored for us. People come and go in, sometimes we win and sometimes we learn. Let us not try to make things happen depending only on our own strength because everything falls in it's perfect timing. We should live life in the moment. Although the time of the end is both the most exciting and the most frightening time to imagine but in at all times, in our life, we are to show the love of Christ to one another, so that someday we will be able to stand and dwell before our God Almighty Father of the universe and spend the rest of our lives in a safe place. A place to be called our home.
Let me end this by saying,

We will live our Life to the fullest and fight against evil .Pray to GOD with greater determination to be worthy to His name.
To god be the glory.

SUNDAY REFLECTION (Jn 6:60-69)

        The gospel for today highlights the challenging nature of Jesus' teachings, and the importance of faith in truly understanding and accepting them.       Many of Jesus' own disciples found his words about the necessity of his body and blood for eternal life to be "hard" or difficult to accept. This shows that we humans tend to struggle with concepts that go beyond our natural understanding while Jesus’ teachings often had a deeper spiritual meaning that only Jesus or God knows. This also shows that faith is necessary in order to fully accept Jesus’ teachings, and that it is not enough to simply hear the words - we must also be willing to put our faith in them.      Ultimately, this gospel reminds us that following Jesus requires willingness and faith to understand the challenging truths of his teachings, and to rely on God's Spirit to guide our understanding. It's a call to a deeper level of commitment, beyond the surface level of discipleship. - Adrian

SUNDAY REFLECTION (Mk 7:18, 14-15, 21-23)

   The Gospel passage addresses how the Pharisees and scribes were upset because Jesus’ followers didn’t follow the tradition of washing their hands before eating. They were more concerned about it because the Pharisees believed this washing was necessary to stay “pure” and “clean”. However, Jesus tells them that they are focusing too much on these man-made rules; they are misguided by it, but Jesus explains that it is not what we do outside but rather what really matters is what is inside our hearts; this includes our thoughts, intentions, and actions that come from within and what really makes a person unclean and impure isn’t how they don’t wash before eating but the bad thoughts and actions that come within their hearts.         In essence, Jesus is teaching us to prioritize our inner transformation over external conformity. Reminding us that purity comes from having a good heart. As 1 Samuel 16:7 says, ‘Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lor

Us and Our God Against the World

Just like when we trust God, we know that He'll always be with us through our hardships. Once we realize that it is not us against the world; rather, it's us and our God against the world, we suddenly realize that we don't have to go through this life alone. We should be accepting of others around us because we were made in God's image. We may overcome previously insurmountable obstacles if we have complete faith that someone will be there for us in our hour of need. - Charlz Racel Dela Cruz
