““But who do you say that I am?” is a question that challenges us to answer not by repeating religious terms and pious phrases we have heard from others but by answering with our own words and understanding. And more importantly by answering with our actions; by living as people who make Jesus, the Son of God, the guide of our lives.”

“Sunday’s Gospel tells us that some people discover faith unexpectedly, while others find it after a period of searching and questioning. Perhaps converts may seem to be better Catholics because the joy of discovering the “treasure” in the field or finding “the pearl of great price” still fills their spirits.”

"In this Sunday’s Gospel (Matthew 13:24-43), Jesus tells a parable that may give us another perspective. Jesus speaks of a man who sowed good seed in his field. At night, an enemy came and scattered weeds throughout the field. When the weeds started sprouting among the growing wheat, the man’s workers asked the owner of the field if they should pull out the weeds. The master decided to let the weeds remain, lest in pulling them out the wheat might be uprooted. At harvest time, the wheat would be saved and stored in a barn, while weeds would be collected and burned.

Like the owner of the field, God allows evil to sprout in our world. He permits the people he created to use their free will, even if to make bad choices that harm the beauty of the world and allow evil to grow in the human heart"
