ST MARTHA

Exodus 24:3–8; Psalm 50; Matthew 13:24–30

Goodness prevails

The farmer deals wisely with a difficult situation. He does not respond with revenge and violence towards one who set out to harm his crop. Instead, he hasconfidence that his wheat will survive the effects of growing amidst the weeds. Ponder how trusting in goodness has the potential to overcome evil and recall examples that have contributed to building peace and wellbeing.
