GOSPEL
"Just as the weeds are taken up and thrown into the fire, so it will be at the end of the world"
Alleluia. Alleluia.
The seed is the word of God,
the sower is Christ;
whoever finds it remains forever.
Alleluia. (cf. Mt 13, 4.23)
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 13, 36-43
At that time,
leaving the crowds, Jesus came to the house.
His disciples came up to him and said to him,
“Explain to us clearly
the parable of the weeds in the field. "
He answered them:
" He who sows the good seed is the Son of man;
the field is the world;
the good seed are the children of the Kingdom;
the tares are the sons of the Evil One.
The enemy who sowed it is the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world;
the reapers are the angels.
Just as we remove the tares
and throw them in the fire,
so it will be at the end of the world.
The Son of man will send his angels,
and they will remove from his Kingdom
all causes of stumble
and those who do evil;
they will throw them into the furnace:
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun
in their Father's kingdom.
He who has ears,
let him hear! "
- Let us acclaim the Word of God.
