19:16-22: 16 And behold, one came up to him, saying, “Teacher,
what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do
you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter
life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said, “You
shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall
not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have
observed; what do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be
perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he
went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. For USCCB

A. There Must Be Time To Heal
We all wish to see a world without evil, a Church without faults. To see that the real Church and the real world are not sinless and not perfect makes us impatient. Jesus reminds us today: be patient, for God is patient with the Church and with the world, and also with us. Let’s not forget this. He gives us the time to change. Let us ask Jesus in this Eucharist that we may begin the change of the world and of the Church with the change of ourselves.

13:24-43:
The Lord in Mathew’s “Kingdom of God” discourse speaks about
the seeds, soil, weeds, treasure and food for all (Eucharist) for four Sundays. That is the Word of God despite many oppositions, resistances, disturbances, persecutions would become food for the soul. Our sowing is o feed the spiritual hunger or the nourishment of the world.
