The parable of the wheat and the weeds in the gospel of St. Matthew (13,24-30) offers us very precious lessons on vigilance, discernment, discretion as well as fortitude and charity. It's a reflection of how our life in this world is-full of confusion, the exercise of freedom producing all sorts of things that mix good and evil, truth and falsehoods, etc.

First of all, because it is a divine precept. Christ himself, in the gospel of St. Matthew, said it very clearly:

"You have heard it said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute and calumniate you." (5,44)

Not contented with that, Jesus offers a reason: "So that you may be children of your Father in heaven, who makes his sun to rise on the good and the evil, and sends his rain on the just and the unjust." (5,45)

Here I am again, waking us up to be ceaselessly aware of God’s presence – not up there – but down here. The omnipresence of God in all of creation.

This is how St. Matthew’s gospel ends, as quoted in today’s liturgical reading: "Teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you. And know that I am with you always, until the end of the world" (Mt. 28: 20). This is how much God loves us and cares for us.
