Mt 13:24-43
Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying: "The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep his enemy came and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. 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?' 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."'"He proposed another parable to them. "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a person took and sowed in a field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, yet when full-grown it is the largest of plants. It becomes a large bush, and the 'birds of the sky come and dwell in its branches.'"
He spoke to them another parable. "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch was leavened."
All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables.
He spoke to them only in parables, to fulfill what had been said through the prophet: I will open my mouth in parables, I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation of the world.
Then, dismissing the crowds, he went into the house.
His disciples approached him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
He said in reply, "He who sows good seed is the Son of Man, the field is the world, the good seed the children of the kingdom. The weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. Just as weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all who cause others to sin and all evildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear."
지은 죄에 대하여 회개할 기회를 주신다는 희망을 당신의 자녀들에게 안겨 주셨습니다. (지혜 12,19)
회개하는 데 게으르지 않도록 하겠습니다.
기회가 되는대로 고백성사에 임하고, 하느님께 마음을 돌리겠습니다.
성령께서는 나약한 우리를 도와주십니다. 우리는 올바른 방식으로 기도할 줄 모르지만, 성령께서 몸소 말로 다 할 수 없이 탄식하시며 우리를 대신하여 간구해 주십니다. (로마 8,26)
성령님, 나약한 저희를 도와 주시고 저희를 대신하여 간구해 주셔서 감사드립니다!
주님, 이 거룩한 신비의 은총으로 저희를 가득 채워 주셨으니 자비로이 도와주시어 저희가 옛 삶을 버리고 새 삶을 살아가게 하소서.
수확할 때까지, 세상의 종말이 올 때까지 가라지를 내버려 두는 것은, 정의를 실현하지 않는 것이 아니라 선인을 보호하려는 것입니다. 악인들은 분명히 행실에 따라 심판을 받겠지만 지금이 그때는 아닙니다.
하늘 나라는 무엇보다 인내와 사랑과 자비의 나라입니다. 지금 우리에게 주어진 시간은 회개를 위한 시간이고
회개는 하느님의 자비를 바탕으로 하고, 그분의 자비는 우리에게 회개의 가능성을 열어 줍니다. 이 시간은 나에게만 주어지는 것이 아니라 다른 사람들에게도 주어집니다. 그러기에 하느님과 이웃 안에서 자비를 실천하고 용서를 체험할 수 있는 시간이기도 합니다.
