A34 Gather Wheat, Matthew 13:24-43, Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

It is your choice. You can choose to be a weed thrown away or wheat treasured and protected. God will see that you are indeed a treasure by the way you treat your family, friends, and strangers. When you choose talking rather than hitting, he will be proud. When you pray for your enemies, he will bless you. When you forgive yourself and others, he will forgive you, too. When you get to heaven, he will gather you into his arms and say,"Welcome home, my child. Welcome home."
