Today’s Gospel Reading is Matthew 13:36-43. The Apostles ask Jesus to explain to them the Parable of the sower and seed. Jesus explains that whatever evil we may have to endure, God has the final victory. God in His goodness offers us victory over sin and death.

He separates that which is evil, and so we pray, that the Lord would cast into the fire that which is evil in us, so we might be perfected in Him.

Praised Be Jesus Christ!
