Exodus 33:7-11; 34:5-8, 28 / Matthew 13:36-43
In life there are many choices - from the food we eat, to the clothes we wear, to words we use, to what we choose to do.
In our spiritual life, we also have to make a fundamental choice, and that is the choice between good and evil.
And when we do an examination of our lives, then we will see that there are times we chose to do good and there are times we chose to do evil.
So in our lives, there is a good harvest of wheat, but there are also the weeds of sin.
And till the last day of our life on earth, there will be wheat and weeds in our hearts.
As Jesus talks about the final judgement in today's gospel, let us pray for the ears to listen .
As we listen to God's Word, may we also make a choice for God.
So that in all we do and say, we will want to choose to do the good and right and loving thing.
The 10 Commandments tell us about the way to life. Jesus offers us the choice between life and death.
Let us choose life, and death will be slowly pulled out and burnt away.
