Message of the Week

I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world.

The Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus teaches that God’s Kingdom is growing in the world, even though good and evil exist side by side.  In the parable of the wheat and weeds, a farmer allows both to grow together until the harvest, showing God’s patience and mercy as he gives people time to repent and change.  Through the mustard seed and yeast, Jesus explains that the Kingdom often begins in small, hidden ways but grows into something great.
God is patient, merciful, and at work even when we cannot see it. We are called to trust in God’s timing and allow his Kingdom to grow in our lives.

Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time | USCCB
