16th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Grace and sin, belief and unbelief, good and evil all exist together. While
we wrestle with these two dimensions of reality inwardly, they are also
witnessed in the actions and words of others. Many, all too often, beat
themselves up because of their sin. We are also all too quick to pass
judgment on others whom we perceive to be in error and walking down a
wrong path. God does not make rash judgments, nor should we. Patience is
the order of the day as is an understanding that God is ultimately the caller
of the shots.
Our faith tells us that while God allows the wheat and the weeds to
coexist, the wheat will always triumph. As long as we can cultivate even a
little faith and a small measure of desire for God, He can produce abundant
blessings and good things. Even when the weeds seem to have triumphed,
there still may be a small measure of faith remaining that can be cultivated
and grown. It doesn’t take much! Unless a person totally allows the weeds
to reign, there is always to be found at least a small measure of faith, good,
light, and love. With even this small portion, God can produce abundant
growth.
Admittedly, it is easy to give into the weeds, and they grow very quickly.
Any gardener knows this to be true. Sometimes, the weeds even seem
more attractive and vibrant. Dealing with weeds can quickly become a
losing battle, and they can look healthier and grow faster than the very
plants we are trying to protect. It’s easy to give into them and let them win.
While God will deal with all things in due time, we are responsible for
keeping things in check in the short term. It is our task to keep our eyes
fixed on God’s presence and mercy. We are asked to avoid judgment. And,
it is not our responsibility to deal with the weeds in someone else’s garden,
only our own. One garden is enough responsibility for anyone.
Weeds have power. We have to realize this. While they can appear
attractive and healthy, they can quickly choke us off from God’s presence.
Our task is one of maintenance and cultivating a desire for God. Even the
smallest kernel of faith can grow into something wonderful. In God’s time,
the eternal harvest will come, and we will no longer have to worry about
the weeds.

2:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M. in the
Runnings parking lot. This BBQ
is being done by Sturgess Family
Catering & BBQ and will also

dessert. Tickets are $12.00 for chicken and $14.00 for ribs.

Jesus teaches us to pray for daily
bread, the food of ordinary time.
Although special days and feasts often
delight us, we spend most of our days,
as the Church reminds us, in
ordinary time. So ordinary time calls
us to holiness to find God in the stuff
of everyday, and to rejoice in the
commonplace (which sometimes, as
we know , turns out to be amazing!).
The “Living Faith” booklets for July through September are
in at Holy Trinity. Please call the Parish office to make
arrangements to pick up your copy or have one mailed to
you.
