a question that cannot be answered.

We go through moments of difficulties and suffering.

play02:57

play02:58

A reading from the book of the prophet Jeremiah.

play03:03

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:

play03:06

stand in the gate of the Lord's house,

play03:08

and proclaim there this word, and say,

play03:12

"Hear the word of the Lord, all you people of Judah,

play03:15

that you enter these gates to worship the Lord."

play03:19

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel:

play03:23

amend your ways and your doings,

play03:25

and let me dwell with you in this place.

play03:28

Do not trust in these deceptive words:

play03:30

"This is the temple of the Lord,

play03:32

the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord."

play03:36

For if you truly amend your ways and your doings,

play03:39

if you truly act justly with one another,

play03:42

if you do not oppress the alien, the orphan and the widow,

play03:46

or shed innocent blood in this place,

play03:49

and if you do not go after other gods to your own hurt,

play03:52

then I will dwell with you in this place,

play03:55

in the land that I gave of old to your ancestors

play03:58

forever and ever.

play04:01

Here you are, trusting in deceptive words to no avail.

play04:04

Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely,

play04:09

make offerings to Baal,

play04:11

and go after other gods that you have not known,

play04:14

and then come and stand before me in this house,

play04:17

which is called by my name, and say, "We are safe,"

play04:20

only to go on doing all these abominations?

play04:24

Has this house, which is called by my name,

play04:26

become a den of robbers in your sight?

play04:29

You know, I too am watching, says the Lord.

play04:34

The word of the Lord.

play04:35

PARISHIONERS: Thanks be to God.

play07:13

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.

play07:16

ALL: Glory to you, O Lord.

play07:19

Jesus put before the people another parable.

play07:24

"The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone

play07:27

"who sowed good seed in his field.

play07:30

"But while everybody was asleep, an enemy came

play07:33

"and sowed weeds among the wheat,

play07:37

"and then went away.

play07:39

"So when the plants came up and bore grain,

play07:43

"then the weeds appeared as well.

play07:46

"The slaves of the householder came and said to him,

play07:50

"'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field?

play07:54

"Where, then, did these weeds come from?'

play07:59

"He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'

play08:02

"The slaves said to him,

play08:04

"'Then do you want us to go and gather them?'

play08:07

"But he replied, 'No; for in gathering the weeds

play08:11

"'you would uproot the wheat along with them.

play08:15

"'Let both of them grow together until the harvest,

play08:19

"'and at harvest time I will tell the reapers,

play08:22

"'"Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles

play08:26

to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

play08:32

The Gospel of the Lord.

play08:34

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

play08:39

I heard an incident from a priest friend

play08:42

who talked to me about a mother who came to see him.

play08:47

She was a single mother who had lost her job.

play08:51

She seems to have missed too many workdays

play08:54

when her kids were too sick

play08:57

to attend daycare.

play08:59

Without income, she couldn't pay her bills

play09:02

and was worried that her utilities would be shut off

play09:06

or she would be evicted from her home.

play09:10

On top of that, her car had broken down

play09:13

and she had no money for repairs.

play09:16

Without a car, she couldn't look for a new job.

play09:20

One thing had piled on top of another

play09:24

until she was overwhelmed with hardships.

play09:28

She felt like world was out to get her.

play09:32

She seemed to have asked my friend,

play09:35

"How can God let this happen?

play09:37

What have I done to deserve this?"

play09:41

One of the age-old questions that has plagued the human mind,

play09:46

generation after generation,

play09:49

is "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?"

play09:54

Maybe have wondered this yourself,

play09:57

or you know someone who has.

play10:00

I get it often from people who are looking for help

play10:03

when they have reached the end of their rope,

play10:07

when it seems like life has dealt them more trouble

play10:12

than anyone deserves.

play10:15

It's a fair question,

play10:16

given the adversities

play10:19

that people go through,

play10:21

particularly children in war-torn places.

play10:25

What did they do wrong?

play10:27

Why are they forced to see suffering,

play10:29

destruction and death all around them?

play10:32

How could evil coexist in the world?

play10:36

As hard as it is, today's Gospel gives a glimpse of hope

play10:41

to the troubled hearts and minds of us.

play10:44

The people who gathered to hear Jesus

play10:47

tell them the stories

play10:49

weren't too much different.

play10:52

They had experienced oppression from Rome.

play10:55

Even among their own people,

play10:57

they had watched the rich get richer

play10:59

as the poor get poorer.

play11:02

Life was unfair.

play11:04

How could God allow his people, the chosen race,

play11:08

to continue to suffer

play11:10

while evil seemed to flourish around them?

play11:14

When would the Messiah deliver them

play11:16

from their miserable existence

play11:18

and bring judgment to Israel's oppressors?

play11:23

There are many ways to interpret

play11:25

the parable of the weeds and the wheat.

play11:28

At its most basic level,

play11:30

this story might be about how difficult it is

play11:34

to tell weeds from the wheat.

play11:37

If you have some experience of working in the garden,

play11:40

we know how difficult it is at times

play11:43

to distinguish between the flower plants

play11:46

that we have planted

play11:47

and the weeds that come along.

play11:51

Sometimes, what we thought to be a weed

play11:54

turns out to be a good plant,

play11:56

and other times, what we thought to be a good plant

play11:59

turns out to be a weed.

play12:01

And we heard that pulling weeds

play12:03

can cause more harm than good,

play12:07

destroying the very crops we want to harvest.

play12:12

But this story is probably more

play12:14

than just our farming tip for weed control.

play12:18

If you continue to read the Gospel,

play12:20

the disciples ask for an explanation

play12:23

once they are alone with Jesus,

play12:26

and he spells out the metaphors that matter,

play12:31

identifying the main characters in this story.

play12:35

This story is more about the kingdom of heaven.

play12:39

Though good and evil coexist, at the end of the age,

play12:44

we will be treated according to our merits.

play12:49

We are not called to be judges of good and evil,

play12:53

and that is not the work of us, but God.

play12:57

We might remember when Jesus taught about loving your enemies

play13:02

and praying for those who persecute you.

play13:04

He adds,

play13:06

"So that you may be children of your Father in heaven,

play13:10

"for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good,

play13:15

and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous."

play13:21

This is good news.

play13:23

Who doesn't want to have a second chance?

play13:26

For surely, we can't change ourselves

play13:29

from weeds to be wheat

play13:31

any more than we can change ourselves

play13:34

from rocky, thorny ground into good soil.

play13:38

But Jesus can.

play13:40

This is merely a parable

play13:42

that we cannot take it a literal sense,

play13:44

but it conveys God's abundant mercy

play13:49

and gives each of us

play13:51

a chance to be part of that kingdom of heaven.

play13:56

Jesus invites us to turn away from a scarcity mindset

play14:01

into Christ abundance;

play14:04

away from focusing on getting what we want

play14:08

toward receiving the infinite grace

play14:12

and forgiveness God offers each of us in Christ.

play14:17

The kingdom of God is becoming. It is a process.

play14:20

It's not a place. It's a process. It's a being.

play14:24

It comes with grace and blessings.

play14:28

We are challenged to embrace God's plan

play14:31

in the midst of our chaos.

play14:34

At the end of this parable, Jesus would say,

play14:36

"Let anyone with ears listen!"

play14:41

That is a call for you, and that's a call for me.

play14:45

In this parable, we, each of us, are invited

play14:48

to see that at times, we can have--

play14:50

We can be both wheat and weed through our behaviours,

play14:54

through our choices that we make.

play14:57

But the invitation is clear

play14:58

that Jesus is giving this parable

play15:00

in response to what a kingdom of God is,

play15:04

kingdom of heaven is.

play15:06

That both evil and good coexist, but at the end of the day,

play15:10

we will be treated according to our deeds.

play15:15

So, dear brothers and sisters,

play15:17

the invitation remains to listen to his words,

play15:21

to proclaim what we hear

play15:24

and to practise what we believe.

play15:33

Let us bring forth our prayers and petitions.

play15:36

We pray for ourselves,

play15:38

that we may not become judges to our brothers and sisters

play15:42

but rather, give them a second chance,

play15:45

allowing them to experience God's goodness, God's grace.

play15:50

We pray to the Lord.

play15:51

ALL: Lord, hear our prayer.

play15:54

We continue to pray for family members and friends

play15:58

who are fallen away from faith,

play16:01

particularly because of what others have said and did,

play16:05

that they may know the choices and the chances

play16:09

that God always presents to them.

play16:11

We pray to the Lord.

play16:13

PARISHIONERS: Lord, hear our prayer.

play16:15

We're going to pray for healing, healing in our hearts,

play16:19

particularly the families who are broken,

play16:21

who are going through difficulties,

play16:24

who have the answer-- Or are asking a question, "Why?"

play16:27

Why is God allowing certain things in their life?

play16:30

That they may have an understanding,

play16:32

we pray to the Lord.

play16:34

PARISHIONERS: Lord, hear our prayer.

play16:36

For all those in our Daily TV Mass

play16:37

prayer intentions book, we pray to the Lord.

play16:41

PARISHIONERS: Lord, hear our prayer.

play16:43

In our community prayer this month,

play16:44

we follow the lead of Pope Francis,

play16:47

who directs us to keep God's command

play16:50

to nurture and cherish creation.

play16:52

We pray for those who are working to protect

play16:55

all that is good in our common home, the earth.

play16:59

We pray to the Lord.

play17:00

PARISHIONERS: Lord, hear our prayer.

play17:02

We take a moment of silence to bring to God

play17:04

our own prayers and petitions.

play17:12

We pray to the Lord.

play17:14

PARISHIONERS: Lord, hear our prayer.

play17:16

Heavenly Father, we bring before you all these prayers,

play17:19

knowing and trusting in your graces and your mercy.

play17:22

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord.

play17:25

PARISHIONERS: Amen.

play17:35

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.

play17:36

For through your goodness

play17:37

we have received the bread we offer you,

play17:40

fruit of the earth and work of human hands.

play17:42

It will become for us the bread of life.

play17:46

ALL: Blessed be God forever.

play17:51

(Wine sloshing)

play17:54

(Whispering indistinctly)

play17:56

(Water sloshing)

play18:00

Blessed are you, Lord, God of all creation.

play18:02

For through your goodness

play18:03

we have received the wine we offer you,

play18:05

fruit of the vine and work of human hands.

play18:08

It will become our spiritual drink.

play18:10

ALL: Blessed be God forever.

play18:13

Wash me and cleanse my sins...

play18:24

Pray, dear brothers and sisters, my sacrifice and yours

play18:27

may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father.

play18:30

ALL: May the Lord accept the sacrifice

play18:32

at your hands for the praise and the glory of his name,

play18:36

for our good, and the good of all his holy Church.

play18:38

Grant us, Lord, we pray, a sincere respect for your gifts,

play18:42

that, through the purifying action of your grace,

play18:46

we may be cleansed by the very mysteries we serve,

play18:49

through Christ our Lord.

play18:51

PARISHIONERS: Amen.

play18:52

The Lord be with you.

play18:53

PARISHIONERS: And with your spirit.

play18:54

Lift up your hearts.

play18:56

PARISHIONERS: We lift them up to the Lord.

play18:57

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

play19:00

PARISHIONERS: It is right and just.

play19:01

It is truly right and just,

play19:03

our duty and our salvation always and everywhere,

play19:06

to give you thanks, Lord, holy Father,

play19:10

almighty and eternal God,

play19:12

for just as through your beloved Son

play19:13

you created the human race,

play19:15

so also through him with great goodness

play19:17

you formed it anew.

play19:19

And so, it is right that all your creatures serve you,

play19:22

all the redeemed praise you,

play19:23

and all your saints with one heart bless you.

play19:26

Therefore, we, too, extol you with all the angels,

play19:29

as in joyful celebration we acclaim...

You are indeed holy, O Lord,

play20:26

the fount of all holiness.

play20:28

Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray,

play20:31

by sending down your Spirit upon them

play20:33

like the dewfall,

play20:35

so they may become for us

play20:36

the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

play20:40

At the time he was betrayed

play20:41

and entered willingly into his passion,

play20:44

he took bread, giving thanks, broke it,

play20:47

and gave it to his disciples, saying,

play20:49

"Take this, all of you, and eat of it,

play20:52

"for this is my body

play20:53

which will be given up for you."

play20:56

(Bell ringing)

play21:04

In a similar way, when supper was ended,

play21:06

he took the chalice, once more giving thanks,

play21:09

he gave it to his disciples, saying,

play21:12

"Take this, all of you, and drink from it,

play21:15

"for this is the chalice of my blood,

play21:17

"the blood of the new and eternal covenant,

play21:19

"which will be poured out for you

play21:21

"and for many for the forgiveness of sins.

play21:24

Do this in memory of me."

play21:27

(Bell ringing)

play21:35

The mystery of faith.

play21:38

# When we eat this bread #

play21:42

# And drink this cup #

play21:45

# We proclaim your death O Lord #

play21:50

# Until you come again #

play21:58

Therefore, as we celebrate

play22:00

the memorial of his death and resurrection,

play22:03

we offer you, Lord, the bread of life

play22:06

and the chalice of salvation,

play22:08

giving thanks that you have held us worthy

play22:11

to be in your presence and minister to you.

play22:14

Humbly we pray that,

play22:16

partaking of the body and blood of Christ,

play22:18

we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit.

play22:22

Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world,

play22:26

and bring her to the fullness of charity,

play22:29

together with Francis, our pope, Francis, our bishop,

play22:33

all the clergy and the people you have gained for your own.

play22:37

Remember also our brothers and sisters

play22:39

who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection,

play22:43

and all who have died in your mercy.

play22:46

Welcome them into the light of your face.

play22:49

Have mercy on us all, we pray,

play22:52

that with the Blessed Virgin Mary,

play22:53

Mother of God,

play22:55

with the Blessed Joseph, her spouse,

play22:57

with the blessed apostles and all the saints

play23:00

who have pleased you throughout the ages,

play23:03

we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life,

play23:06

and may praise and glorify you

play23:09

through your Son, Jesus Christ.

play23:13

Through him and with him and in him,

play23:17

O God, almighty Father,

play23:19

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

play23:22

all glory and honour is yours

play23:24

forever and ever.

play23:27

ALL: Amen.

play23:31

At the Saviour's command and formed by divine teaching,

play23:34

we dare to say...

play23:36

ALL: ...our Father,

play23:38

who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

play23:41

Thy kingdom come;

play23:43

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

play23:47

Give us this day our daily bread

play23:49

and forgive us our trespasses,

play23:52

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

play23:55

And lead us not into temptation,

play23:58

but deliver us from evil.

play24:00

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil.

play24:04

Graciously grant peace in our days,

play24:07

that by the help of your mercy,

play24:10

we may be always free from sin

play24:12

and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope

play24:17

and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

play24:21

PARISHIONERS: For the kingdom, the power

play24:23

and the glory are yours, now and forever.

play24:26

Lord Jesus Christ, who said to your apostles,

play24:29

"Peace I leave you. My peace I give you,"

play24:32

look not on our sins, but on the faith of your Church,

play24:36

and graciously grant her peace and unity

play24:39

in accordance with your will,

play24:42

who live and reign forever and ever.

play24:44

PARISHIONERS: Amen.

play24:46

The peace of the Lord be with you always.

play24:48

PARISHIONERS: And with your spirit.

play24:50

Let us offer each other the sign of peace.
