Wheat or Weeds? That is the title of Lois Holly's sermon this week. The picture on the left is "darnel", also known as "false wheat". The farmers of Jesus' day would never have allowed these weeds to grow together with the wheat but that is what Jesus suggested in Mathew 13:24-30.
Lois brought home the point that we divide the world into opposites all the time. Who do we accept and who do we reject? There is much to consider in this passage and homily, particularly in regards to the weeds and wheat within each and every one of us. What do we weed out? What do we allow to grow?
