Tuesday Week 17 Year A
First
Reading:
Exodus 33:7-11; 34:5-9.28
Gospel:
Matthew 13:36-43
THEME: THE LORD IS A JUST GOD
The Lord is full of love and
compassion slow to anger abounding in love and charity (Psalm 154:8-9). Moses was going to his
presence to intercede for the people and he was hearing him. Jesus in the gospel was
explaining the parable of the weeds in the field. He was explaining it for him
to justify every action he will latter take, the conclusion of the gospel said.
He who has ears, let him hear. Onye nwere ntị ya nụrụ. He is always merciful on both
those who make effort and sometimes on those who do not make effort and that was why the master
asked workers to leave the two to grow but the end will determine. How much
effort do we make? Let us like Moses go closer to God. Let us like the apostles
go to him for him to explain to us what may be confusing us. He gives judgment
with mercy. He has no partiality in him but he is merciful and compassionate. If
we stay from afar to understand him, it may be very difficult for us but if we
go closer like Moses and the apostles, we will see the richness of the kingdom.
He is a just God. Thanks.
