On this St. Patrick’s Day, we reflect on two powerful Gospel parables from Matthew 13:24-32 that reveal a profound truth about the Kingdom of Heaven. Instead of focusing solely on opposing evil, Jesus teaches us that true spiritual growth comes from nurturing faith, virtue, and holiness within ourselves.
📖 Today’s Gospel Reflection:
- Parable of the Weeds – Jesus explains how good and evil coexist, emphasizing God’s divine plan and the importance of patience in faith.
- Parable of the Mustard Seed – A reminder that even the smallest act of faith can grow into something transformational, impacting the world in ways we cannot imagine.
