Mt 13:36-43

Jesus turns his focus to the disciples. He offers equivalencies in this agricultural comparison to the final judgment that help the disciples to understand the meaning. In the end, good will overcome evil and those who have chosen to do good “will shine.”

We need to understand that those messages at the heart of the stories told long ago are as relevant to us today as they were to the disciples. We pray to hear, to understand and to act. St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us.
