24th Sunday After Pentecost 2021
Today’s Gospel is warning and a consolation that the good and evil grow together but are separated at the end and receive different rewards based on their deeds in life. The Church has gone through troubles in the past and present but will always survive because of God’s preserving grace. The enemies will have their apparent power stripped away. We should not assume that we are the wheat and neglect to watch over our hearts and have weeds grow there instead. The most successful apostolates are good example and prayer. The virtuous life becomes easier as we practice it.
