"When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well.
"The slaves of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’

"His slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
"He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them.
"Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.” (Matthew 13: 24 - 30).

Saturday July 27th in the 16th week in Ordinary Time.
The Lord Jesus proposes a parable of the weeds growing with the wheat. The night before He died, Jesus prayed that His disciples would remain one as the Father and Himself remains one. This was not to be, because in every age, there arise enemies who who sow tares in the Church.
These enemies will not succeed in disrupting the marvelous work wrought by God's mighty, merciful Providence which is very mysterious in its operations.
This parable and the Genealogy of Jesus Christ shout that God is not a fool. He knows what He is doing. No apostasy can stop His design for the world He created and loves dearly.
"The slaves of the householder came to him and said, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where have the weeds come from?’ He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ His slaves said to him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ He replied, ‘No, if you pull up the weeds you might uproot the wheat along with them. Let them grow together until harvest; then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters, “First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning; but gather the wheat into my barn.” (Matthew 13: 27 - 30).

Summary: It is the plan of God that the weeds will live side by side with the wheat till the end of the world.
“Gather my loyal ones to me, those who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” (Psalm 50: 5).
July is the Month dedicated to the Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ.
