The garden and the weed

"Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? If so, where does the darnel come from?" (Matthew 13: 27)

The word of God sown in our hearts is good seed. Where does the weed come from?

They come from:

• The enemy
  
• Concupiscence
  
• Lust
  
• Greed
  

Who will help us weed the garden? Jesus Christ, the farmer who sows the good seed will help us weed our garden if we ask Him. The practical tools He gives us for this job is daily examination of conscience and regular Confession.
