Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL Matt 13: 24-43
This Sunday we continue reading from Matthew 13, the chapter on parables. This is the primary chapter in the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus speaks in parables, and he speaks seven of them. That alone should tell us that we are dealing with Matthew’s evangelical hand in editing and placing these parables where he does in his story about Jesus. The shorter gospel reading today is about the weeds and the wheat, whereas the longer reading includes other parables. The parable of the weeds and the wheat occurs only in Matthew. No other gospel includes this parable, causing scholars to wonder whether Matthew had access to a special source, or perhaps he composed it himself. Even if that is so, the passage is still scriptural, still inspired, and still authoritative. One reason scholars query whether Matthew composed it is that so many of the stories that are unique to him fit a pattern of judgment followed by a fiery end. And this story certainly falls into that category. The good sower expects a harvest of wheat but is unaware that his enemy cast weeds into the field. The precise term for the weed is “darnel,” which is a plant that looks like wheat. Darnel is sometimes called “false wheat.” Rather than uproot the darnel, a process that would harm the wheat, both are allowed to grow together. In the end there will be sorting, and the darnel is destined for the fire. Such an apocalyptic image requires little imagination. This is hardly the
sort of parable whose meaning is difficult to discern. Instead, we see clearly that the followers of Jesus, the “church” is a field of wheat and weeds, the good and the bad. The church does not play God and determine who will be uproot-ed. Instead, uprooting is God’s role and he will perform it...in the end. For anyone whose life is bound up in the church, today’s gospel rings true. There are weeds in the church in every time and place. But it is not our role to uproot. At harvest time God will separate the weeds from the wheat. Our role is simply to produce for the harvest. Living Liturgy year A

LIVING THE PASCHAL
MYSTERY How many of us would like to be in charge,
deciding what’s best for the group, what’s best
for the church? When enemies get in the way,
we would have the authority to uproot and be
rid of them. Even if we are not the ones to be
“in charge,” how many of us would like
someone else to do the uprooting or weeding?
But such is not the way it is with God and the
church. In today’s gospel passage found only
in Matthew, we learn from Jesus that God is
aware that there are weeds growing within the
wheat. God is content to let them grow
together; only to be separated later, at harvest
time.
It is our task to simply let God be God while
we grow into the harvest we are meant to be.
Our lives are not to be filled with
judgmentalism but with mercy. We are
reminded of Pope Francis words “Who am I to
judge,” or Jesus’ own words in the Gospel of
John, “Let the one who is without sin cast the
first stone.” These are gentle reminders for us
that as disciples, followers of the Son of God,
we are content to allow God to act in his own
time. Living Liturgy A
