GOSPEL
"Let them grow together until the harvest"
Alleluia. Alleluia.
Accept in meekness
the Word sown in us:
it is this which can save you.
Alleluia. (cf. Jc 1, 21bc)
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew : 13: 24-30
At that time
Jesus offered the crowds another parable:
“The kingdom of Heaven is like
a man who sowed good seed in his field.
Now, while the people were sleeping,
his enemy came up;
he sowed weeds in the midst of the wheat
and went away.
When the stalk grew and produced the ear,
then the weeds also appeared.
The master's servants came and said to him,
“Lord, is this not good grain
that you have sown in your field?
Where does it come from that there are weeds? ”
He said to them,
“An enemy did this.”
The servants said to him,
“Do you want us to go and take him away?”
He replies,
“No, by removing the tares,
you risk pulling up the wheat at the same time.
Let them grow together until the harvest;
and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers:
First take up the weeds,
bind them in bundles to burn them;
as for the wheat, collect it and bring it
into my attic. ” "
- Let us acclaim the Word of God.
